Best Pick

Leica 21mm f/1.4 Summilux-M Aspherical Lens, Black

60.2 Score
21mm f/1.4 Leica M IS
Why we recommend this

Its f/1.4 aperture is exceptionally fast for a 21mm rangefinder lens, enabling shallow depth-of-field effects and excellent low-light performance in a wide-angle format. The lens combines this speed with a robust metal build and a sophisticated 10-element optical design that minimizes distortion. This makes it a specialized tool for architectural or landscape photographers who require both extreme sharpness and creative control over focus with a Leica M camera.
