Opinion:Purchased to mount it on a fuji, it becomes a 31.5 mm focal length that with two steps back you go to 28 and two steps forward to 35. The aps-c sensor uses the best part of the lenses, the central one, so I did not detect any particular defects, nor fringing at least on fuji. Sometimes, however, flare appeared. The colors are beautiful engraved and at the same time gives a well-defined image, but soft a bit like Leica optics. Maybe aspherical could be better, but I've never tried it.
Opinion:It is a really compact and well-built lens, with a very sharp and contrasted yield. I really like using it. I have owned this lens twice, until now. First time on Leica M9 and later on Leica Monochrom. The second time I decided to use it on APS-C format. On Leica Full Frame, if you shoot in color there is the problem of color-fringing. The extreme proximity of the rear lens to the sensor ensures that there are Magenta-colored deviations at the edges. The phenomenon can be corrected in post, but using it on digital Leica M, if you shoot in color, may not give much satisfaction. Different was its use made on Monochrom. In that case it was impeccable. Not really loving the focal length 21 mm (if I had loved it so much I would have bought a Leica), I decided to resell it. Some time ago I bought it back. And this time, this lens, is giving me a lot of satisfaction because it is experiencing a second youth. In fact, I mounted it on a Fuji X-e3, where the crop factor actually transforms it into a focal length of about 31.5 mm, perfect for street photo and reportage photos. Half a step forward and become a 35. Half backwards and becomes a 28. The flaws he had revealed on FF are not seen. On APS-C I never take it off. It's perfect.
Opinion:On film it is very good, worthy of the best achievements. It is bright and neutral. The good contrast does not affect the nuances. A little 'vignetting wide open, but it is acceptable having regard to the focal and dimensioni.rnEssendo born to the film and being microscopic, one can not ask to replicate the sensor the excellent prestazioni.rnIo use it on m4 / 3 and, even on this small sensor, the corners, I see a significant drop in sharpness at full aperture. I guess the problem is gradually exacerbate of aps and FF.rnChiudendo the diaphragm, the angles improve a lot and, f / 8, all right. The yield axis is always very elevata.rnProbabilmente the digital Leica or Sony alpha 7 r2 is not affected by the problem (or, anyway, it minimizes) .rnLa quality of the ferrules is high, almost to the Leica level.
Cons:cartoon a little bit (which makes wide-angle nn?), sometimes a little bit of flare (Negligible)
Opinion:Excuse me why do not you sell it under the LEICA logo?? I did not expect so much quality 'by Japanese Cosina LTD! good buy! Can 'compete with the more' noble wide angles of the German house, and all this at 1/5 of the price. Used with leica m8 and fuji XPro1 in both cases did not disappoint! Recommended big time!
