For me the 21mm Super-Angulon-M ?3.4 will always be a main reason for
shooting Leica M.  For many people the only reason. A dream lens.
A true wide angle lens. Not retrofocus.
A minute foot print. Its tiny.
Love it.  Super corrected at the edges for architected work like a
retrofocal design only dreams to be. And I don't care about some drop off of
light at the perimeters.

Can it be compared to the exquisite monster the 21 ASPH?
A retrofocal lens?

One needs both.
