After it was initially delayed for some design changes, the new Super Elmar M 21mm f/3.4 ASPH lens is now finally shipping in the US. The above picture was taken in my local Leica dealer who also had the 28mm Summicron-M f/2 ASPH in stock. My other local dealer currently has the Leica Elmarit-M 28mm […]

The above picture of the new Leica Super Elmar M 21mm f/3.4 ASPH lens ($2,995.00) is from the day it was announced. The current picture of the same lens on Leica’s website has a slightly different design (bigger diameter just above the bayonet, ignore the lens hood):
