MatKuhre Posted Monday at 01:14 PM Share #1 Posted Monday at 01:14 PM Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey I’m looking to get a wider angle lens for my Leica m11. I don’t thing it will be a lens I’m gonna use that often so I’m looking for low budget 🙂 im currently looking at the 21mm f4 color-skopar, do any one use that on the Leica m11 ? I know it have some problems on digital when shooting color, but I also heard that the was no problem when converting the black and white 🙂 and I shoot b&w 85%. alternatively I’m looking at the color-skopar 28mm f2.8 . do any one have experience using the 2 lenses ? Kind regards Matias Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted Monday at 01:14 PM Posted Monday at 01:14 PM Hi MatKuhre, Take a look here 21mm f4 or 28mm f2.8 color-skopar on M11. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted Monday at 01:31 PM Share #2 Posted Monday at 01:31 PM Take the 21. You can always crop. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same, but i don’t know if the lens would be any good on the m11, I have seen some photos with the m11m and the cs 21mm f4 and they look good. But must of the reviews only talks about “red-desisse” 😅 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted Monday at 03:51 PM Share #4 Posted Monday at 03:51 PM (edited) No need to crop or shoot BW folks, the Skopar 21/4 does not produce any color shift on the M11.

S Maclean Posted Monday at 03:52 PM Share #5 Posted Monday at 03:52 PM I don't have the Color-Skopar, but the SE 21 is one of my favorite walk around lenses. I sometimes do crop the images. By contrast I don't use 28 as much, defaulting to 35. Welcome, dear visitor!

I have a 35mm as well, so was also thinking that the 28mm might be too similar:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no experience with the LTM variant though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going for the m version as well, I don’t have any ltm cameras so it’s will only be for the m11. Thanks a lot for the answer/ photo, and the tip for the lens profile 😀👌 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 35mm as well, so was also thinking that the 28mm might be too similar:-) They are a little different. There is no agument on the merit of 28mm (look at the success of the Q) and how it can be cropped. I don't dislike it, but I used to be mnoslty a 50 shooter on medium range, so 35 alreay gives me context...outside of that I tend to go much wider. The Leica 21 distorts very little (at leat the SE) so I love it. I have a 28 lens and had a 28 q but almost always cropped a little to get what I wanted out of the pic. It's just my taste. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massimo-BdG Posted Monday at 07:55 PM Share #11 Posted Monday at 07:55 PM I've bought the M 21/4 Color Skopar and works perfectly on M11, no color fringes and really compact. Great with people walking around. Welcome, dear visitor!

S Maclean Posted Tuesday at 03:24 PM Share #12 Posted Tuesday at 03:24 PM Matt Osborne (Mr Leica) has a nice write up on the CS 21. Unusual wide lens for him. Anyway, good read and viewing. Great shots too: https://mrleica.com/voigtlander-21mm-f4/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris7273 Posted Wednesday at 07:59 AM Share #13 Posted Wednesday at 07:59 AM I own the 21 f/4 skopar and it's great on the M11. Always in the bag or in my pocket as it's so tiny... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
