I bought one recently and it is *stunning*. See: http://www.woodleyside.co.uk/images/leica/fieldsmall.jpg http://www.woodleyside.co.uk/images/leica/house%2021mm.jpg for two examples of this (they are low res JPGs, but you will get the point) Jon - -----Original Message----- From: Simon Pulman-Jones [mailto:spulmanjones@lbs.ac.uk] Sent: 26 July 1999 12:49 To: Leica-Users@Mejac. Palo-Alto. Ca. Us Subject: [Leica] Ricoh 21mm lens? Does anybody have any information about the Ricoh 21mm lens? I think it was due out in spring this year, but unlike the Cosina/Voigtlander lenses it doesn't seem to have made much of an impression on the LUG or the press. Are they only available in Japan? I'm looking for a compact, affordable 21mm which I can use on an M5 and have a feeling the Ricoh may fit the bill. Thanks, Simon.
