Carl Zeiss 21mm f4.5 C Biogon T* ZM - Lens

The 21mm f4.5 C Biogon T* ZM is an exceptionally compact and unique super wide-angle lens. Like its classic predecessor from 1952, the optical performance is stellar and destined to make the same history. Updated with the most recent high performance optical glass types and the Carl Zeiss quality assurance methods, the image quality exceeds that of today’s best color films and exhibits virtually no distortion. The 21mm f4.5 C Biogon T* ZM has a filter size of only 46mm and is remarkably small and lightweight, making it the ideal super wide-angle for traveling.

  • Closest focusing distance: 0.5 m

Leica M

Leica’s M mount was introduced in 1953 alongside its first camera, the M3. Despite the rise of the SLR, Leica cameras have continued to succeed as their unique combination of build quality, speed, and discretion sets them apart from competition. The M bayonet mount, and the cameras introduced alongside it, offered (& continue to offer) a number of advantages over SLRs and other rangefinder cameras.

One big advantage is automatic framelines, which react to the lens on the camera to show accurate framelines in the viewfinder. This is even possible with older Leica Thread Mount (LTM) lenses if the correct adapter is used.

Other manufacturers, such as Cosina Voigtländer, Carl Zeiss, Konica, and Minolta, have also produced rangefinder cameras using Leica M mount.
