21 mm SA on M9

[JMQ]

Hi, has anyone tried using a 21mm Super Angulon f3.4 on the M9? Camera manual says ok to use, but no metering. Is there color shift? Can you share your experiences as I am considering buying a used one from a fellow RFF member here. Thanks very much.

I called Leica USA, but they were not helpful at all.

Thank you.

You will get pink color edges, even with the latest firmware and manually setting the lens to one of the 21mm focal length.

Metering works!! Don't tell anybody. Now everyone would want their own SA :-[ Just punch in a -2.3 using the exposure dial.

Here's a composite pic, composite only because the whole is stronger than the 2 separate ones:

Thank you very much for the tip! regards,
