I do like my wide angle M mount lenses that cover the 15-35mm range, but quite often I would find a zoom much more convenient for more precise framing. (Avoids the need to change lenses in the dark or dusty environments, etc) The prospective 16-35mm variable aperture zoom would be convenient for that purpose, but it seems likely to be bulky. AF would be useful, although I don't know how reliable it will be on such a wide, slow lens. The WATE would be an obvious alternative, although it would be either poorer at the edges of the frame, or slower, than existing wide angle lenses that I have. I assume that the SL 16-35mm will perform at least as well as the WATE. How do others that have used the WATE and/or 16-35mm lenses in other systems feel?

Dear all, I am thinking about changing my TL 18mm lens to get the 11-23 zoom. Iwould get versatility and better IQ from what I read. I am wondering if any of you has tried using the 16-18-21 WATE on the CL and how it compares to the 11-23 IQ wise ? The focal lengths on the WATE would be enough for me and I could also use the Lens on my M. Thanks for your comments ! Didier

Just thought today...as I had bought a WATE 16/18/21 a couple of months ago used in mint cond..and am using it on an A7 as I don't have a digital M body yet.. But I noticed it changes focus a bit when you change the focal length from 16 to 18 or 21....and then you need to refocus it for the new setting...as it goes out by a couple of inches... I have adjusted to this..but if I get an M body soon..I'm wondering will the lens focus correctly..as in..is there an adjustment for the rangefinder body that I'm not aware of..for this lens to keep it in focus..or does my lens have an issue here..? Thx in advance for those who have worked with this lens on their M's..and can bring this into perspective for me..

I am greatly enjoying using the Leica M10. For me, it is the nicest handling digital M yet. I like taking wide-angle shots at vintage and classic car shows with some of my favourite lenses such as the 16-18-21mm Wide Angle Tri-Elmar (WATE) and the 24mm Elmar. At the recent Irish Classic and Vintage Motor Show I gave both of these lenses an outing on the M10. I tested both lenses in advance with the 'Frankenfinder' optical multi-finder and 'Visoflex' EVF for the M10 and I decided to go with the optical finder as the frame-lines enabled framing to avoid too many other spectators getting in the photos. My favourite combination was, in fact, the 24mm Elmar with the optical finder which has a setting for 24mm lenses. I like the EVF, but I prefer rangefinder focussing and also the use of frame-lines for wide-angle shots, so the EVF stayed in the bag for the car show. An article showing some photos taken with the M10 at the car show is here: http://macfilos.com/photo/2017/7/17/leica-m10-meets-the-motoring-stars-of-yesteryear I would be interested to hear from anyone who has used the WATE or 24mm Elmar with either the 'Frankenfinder' or the EVF on the M10.
