I'm guilty of not using this lens more.

With this kind of results, you really should be using it more.

My combination of the Bessa R4A and the tiny 21mm f4 is a killer. Wearing glasses the viewfinder rocks and the total package has one of the best price/value/handling advantages.

Drawback: on High Street everyone expects a Leica......

I really like your aircraft shot Silverbullet. All those converging lines !!!

I'm inspired to think more about my own 21/4. It is a great lens when used well as your shots show

Hi Chris,

I really appreciate your comment.

The flight with the JU52 was a birthday gift for my 60th and my plan was to use this lens inside the plane.

But the morning light from the side was phantastic so this new (for me) lens
brought much more than I expected.....

cheers
Bernd

block party from last summer. The "Hail Mary" is one of my favorite ways to use the 21mm.

Thank you Helen !! Indeed, not so retro but affordable !

I thought this came out alright.

This lens draws different from any other lens I have--I'm not sure what it is. Everything has a tendency to look kind of 'hyper-real'--something to do with the contrast. Not really sure how to articulate it.

Anyway, I still really like using it.



This is new Portra 400, and I've cropped it very slightly to tighten the composition. Representative FOV is probably about 23mm after the crop.

I think this shot was taken with the 21 F/4, but cropped to correct parallax:



I just bought this lens recently and I really love it already, more than the 35 F/1.4 I'd say, and I use it more often than the 50 F/1.1 (which I love too though). I also picked the 15 F/4.5 recently but hve not had the occasion to try it yet, so I guess the 21 F/4 is among my two favorites ones.

I expecting a CV 21/4 in S mount in the mail. Is it true that it does not do well on the Leica M9 (for M or LTM versions)?

I like it fine on my M9 coded as a 21 elmarit...

Both images look fine to me.

Just received mine a few weeks ago after selling my 20mm Nikkor. Been having a blast, but struggling a bit with the RF/VF dance with kids running around... it gets easier when they slow down, as they did below!



Great little lens. I won't leave home without it!

Shot this on FP4 developed in Rodinal, so grain is obvious. But, I'm happy with how this lens flares. The sun is behind the nearest bridge support. Almost gives a ghost/double look to the concrete work. Some might not like this but I do. Beats the blowout I'd get with lesser lenses.
