With its impressive angle of view of 107 degrees, the Leica 16-18-21 mm M-Tri-Elmar with WA Finder Elmar Camera Lens for M8 Camera 11642 conquers 16 mm super wide-angle photography in perfect Leica M Camera style. Due to the minimal distortion and barely perceptible field curvature,this Leica Digital Camera Lens can be recommended for highly demanding architecture photography even at the 16 mm setting. Used on the digital M8 camera, it produces the image effect of a 21 - 28 mm lens, still enabling extreme wide-angle views. Leica made he ultra compact shape in this camera lens with two aspherical elements. A new design of the interior on the Digital Camera Lens focuses significantly on the quality in the close-focus range through an adaption of the floating element principle. Brilliant depth of field can therefore be used from a distance of 0.33 m for hyperfocal photography. We can recommend it for use wth Leica Digital M8 Camera and Leica Digital M8.2 RangeFinder Camera without reservation as a top lens, best suited for available light photography.
