From the editor
A very compact and lightweight moderate wide-angle / standard lens for Leica M cameras, the optical formula of which, according to the manufacturer, consists entirely of high refractive index elements, which allows for very high resolution, while the lens forms an image circle covering a 44x33mm sensor without vignetting. With these characteristics, the lens is very well suited for landscape photography, but, of course, it can also be used in other genres, such as architectural photography, street, casual or travel photography. Overall, this is a pretty practical lens for those who don't shoot in low light but need a very sharp, portable lens and don't mind focusing manually.
