Do you recall what aperture this was shot at? It looks amazing for an ultrawide...

Scott

Aperture was f/8. It is an amazing ultra wide.

What code did you use for the lens, or lens choice from the code menu?

This looks spectacular @ f8.0,

I'd also be interested in seeing comparably sized files done @ f4.0, f2.0, and f1.8.

I may need to find a new home for my 21 Elmarit ASPH. . . 😱

At first I used the menu code for the 21 elmarit, but then decided to hand code it with a marker for the 21 lux. The latter seems to be slightly better, but either option works fine.

Oh brilliant. I just bought a Zeiss 21mm. 😡

Aha! I see some weird colours in the far right vertical pole. 🙂 Anybody else see that or am I hallucinating?

That is moire. The sensor is telling you that this lens is too sharp 😉

I'm not surprised, They make great lenses. I have a 25mm on my Nikon S3 and it's
Sharp. Enjoy your lens.

Nope, straight out of Lightroom with a touch of contrast, no profiles or anything done. There are a few more in my flickr with the 21 as well.

good way how to make big headed alien from ordinary person... 🙄

Ultron at f/2; 1/125, kodak 5222, leica CL, scale focus.

Really brilliant photos in this thread. I am very tempted by the Ultron. How big is the lens compared to a 50 Summilux Asph or an Elmarit-M? I know Ron Scheffler did a comparison but I don't have any of the lenses he compared with so I have difficulty getting an impression of the Ultron's size.

cheers
