21mm Super Angulon

[agoglanian]

Just got my "new" SA21 in the mail. It's chrome and from 1964. I just popped it on my M4 and honestly I think it'll probably just stay there most of the time. Super excited to use one again! I'll try not to be foolish and sell it this time.

Finally! Here's a few shots with my M4 and 21mm Super Angulon on TMAX 400

Very good use of lens and filter!

I like it Vincent! I need more time to get out and shoot with mine but it’s now effectively permanently attached to my M4.

Thank you Ko.Fe.! Colour filters rock!

Greetings agoglanian! You are doing well with the 21SA. I read your posts in this thread. I have a chrome 21SA too.

I played bass in the following: Goatsnake, The Obsessed and Acid Kind. Loud, slow and heavy!

Whoa... Never thought the day doom/stoner and photogeekery would overlap!! Acid King is amazing!

Great collection of shots here, love the look of 21mm, just got a zm 21 4.5 to play around for the first time, and this is a very inspiring thread

Loving this little beauty. I think the 21SA 3.4 is similar in character to a 35mm pre-asph lux, but just loads wider and yet pretty distortion free... or it seems that way to me at least. This lens is lovely on film. Just seen that I have never added anything to this 21SA thread, time to fix that:

You people are a bad influence. Been waiting on a Super Angulon R F3.4 for more than a week now, customs from Canada to the US takes forever!

Why did I end up with an R version? It's a long story. For some reason, a local farm auction had a Leicaflex Standard with lenses. I ended up with only the lenses (50 and 90), which were single cam, so I got a beautiful condition Leicaflex Standard Mark II from Westborn Camera, sent to DAG for a meter overhaul.

My plan is to use it on both the Leicaflex, my M5 (with a modified R to M adapter to prevent the meter from popping up) and my Ricoh GXR.

R version is scale focus only, but, with a 21mm, should be a bit easier.

I've been thinking about a full frame digital for a while, but I read that this lens won't even physically mount on the Leica SL. Can anyone confirm? The rear element should be pretty close between the M and R versions.

Does anyone know if this lens will mount properly on a CLE?

It will mount but the meter won’t work.

 

[yofred]

It will mount but the meter won’t work.

Thanks for the reply! Same as the M6 then. I've been strongly considering a lighter setup recently... I'm assuming a CLE will work fine with a 35 summilux pre-asph but I'll research that.

I'll use this post to share another shot with the 21 SA & Tri-X.
