Used Leitz Wetzlar 21mm f/4 Super-Angulon-R Lens

The Leitz Wetzlar 21mm f/4 Super-Angulon-R Lens is a classic ultra-wide-angle prime designed for the Leica R-mount 35mm SLR system, offering distinctive rendering, strong optical character, and a compact mechanical design typical of vintage Leica-era optics. Covering a 21mm focal length, it delivers an extremely wide field of view ideal for landscapes, architecture, interior photography, and environmental documentary work, with strong perspective emphasis and pronounced spatial depth. The lens features a relatively slow f/4 maximum aperture, which helps keep it compact while maintaining good optical control and depth of field for wide-angle shooting. Originally developed by Schneider-Kreuznach and produced for Leica, the Super-Angulon optical design is known for its symmetrical construction, producing low distortion and sharp central performance, with some natural corner falloff and vignetting that contribute to its characteristic analogue rendering. It is fully manual focus, built with all-metal construction, and offers precise mechanical operation typical of professional Leica R lenses. Despite its vintage design, it remains appreciated for its sharpness, micro-contrast, and unique image character, especially when adapted to modern digital systems where its wide-angle perspective and optical “look” are still highly valued by photographers.
