[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Hello Chris, I have a lot of extreme wide-angles: 15, 19 and 21mm for Leica R, so can make some comparison: The Elmarit 19mm (#11225) is very good lens, excellent contrast, sharp and hardly no dark corners. Better than the SuperAngulon R 4/21mm (fair/good contrast) But for me the best is the (Zeiss) Elmar-R 1;3.5/15mm. Extreme sharp! Which version of the 19mm did you try: the most recent or on of the older types?
