Great lens, great seller

This innovative lens is a lot of fun. It's certainly not the sharpest lens in the corners for such a wide focal length, but I get satisfactory results down to f/9.5. And as always, CameraQuest delivered the lens incredibly quickly!

Pros
  • Minimum aperture: F/22
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

super sharp! Nice choice. Accessible!

Beautiful lens. One of the few ultra wide-angle lenses for Leica M cameras with good edge sharpness.

Pros
  • Luminous intensity: F/5.6
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

This lens is incredible. This opens up a whole new way of seeing. If you decide not to buy a 10mm viewfinder that attaches to your camera's hot shoe, don't be discouraged. Just…

Pros
  • Viewing angle: 130 degrees.
Cons
  • flimsy
