Manufacturer description

The 20mm and 21mm are all-round ultra-wide-angle lenses for best effects at all lens openings. They produce in-depth sharpness of the image throughout the picture area, bringing out a perfect harmony of the main subject with the accentuated remoteness of the objects in the background. Excellent aberration correction and unequalled color reproduction. Particularly recommended for specialized photographic work.

The 21mm lens is mounted with the mirror locked in the flip-up position, and the subject is viewed through an exclusive viewfinder supplied with the lens.

Notes

  • The lens was designed for use with 35mm film SLR cameras with the mirror locked in the up position.
