Wide-angle lenses for street photography
The 21mm lens is the widest angle lens I’ve ever used. Wide-angle lenses can make people look a bit out of proportion. Instead of distortion, the excellent design of this lens has a perspective impact. I use it with film cameras.
Changing distance and changing style
Wide-angle lenses can create different visual and psychological effects depending on how they’re used. With a wide-angle lens, the subject appears to be farther away. A wide lens is great for creating a bit of distance between the subject and the photographer. However, a 21mm lens can also be great for close-up photos. By changing your distance, you can change your photography style.
Schneider Super Angulon
The Leica 21mm f/4 Super Angulon was designed and manufactured by Schneider. It’s got the classic Super Angulon symmetrical design you’d expect to see in a 4×5 format. This lens has great contrast and really vibrant colours. Vignetting is the biggest issue with this lens, but some people like this style.
