The LEICA SUMMILUX-M 21mm f/1.4 ASPH extends Leica's series of high speed M lenses into the wide-angle range. It offers excellent performance over the entire image field even at full stop and in the close-up range thanks to a "floating element". Stopping down to 2.8 leads to an absolutely outstanding image quality. In fact, in comparison to the Elmarit lens of the same focal length, its rendition is slightly more uniform across the image field.
The vignetting typical of every optical system is naturally more apparent with a super wide angle lens, particularly a high speed one like this, than on standard lenses or those with a long focal length. At full stop with the 35mm format, its maximum - i.e. in the corners of the image - is around 3.2 aperture stops or, with the Leica M8 models and their slightly smaller format, around 1.9 aperture stops. Stopping down to 2.8 visibly reduces this light fall-off towards the image edges to 1.7 or 0.8 aperture stops. Stopping down further does not bring any noticeable additional reduction, as all that remains is essentially the natural vignetting.
