kodaktrix Posted September 27, 2006 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I ask Your help and experiance as I am looking for that wide angle lens between 19 to 21mm that shows the least distortion. Camera mount, brand, age or speed (aperture) do not matter, I simply want a lens that gives a image that is perfectly flat without or extremely little distortion. I myself use a 5.6/20mm Russar and a 2.8/20mm Nikkor MF which are quite good, but I would not call them excellent as far as distortion is a matter. Please help with your suggestions or hints either from personal experiance or hearsay. Best regards and thanks in advance Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertwang Posted September 27, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2006 Try the Zeiss 21mm f2.8 Distagon for Contax mount. It has the least distortion of any lens in that range. It's a beauty. Even Leica can't compare there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenning Posted September 27, 2006 Share #3 Posted September 27, 2006 Well - well - Albert Wang, I have been told that the Leica 19mm Elmarit is better than the Carl Zeiss 21mm Distagon (!) Maybe some of the owners of both the 19mm Elmarit and the Zeiss 21mm can confirm that (?) All the best - Svenning, Denmark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
