Leica 21mm Summilux ASPH Review in The Works

Leica 21mm Summilux ASPH Review in The Works:

I am super busy packing for my trip to Japan but I just wanted to mention real quick for those who are not part of my new Instagram account that I stopped by the Leica Boutique at Bergen County Camera yesterday to visit Bob, and to also possibly borrow a lens for my trip.  Like always, he’s way to good to me, and not only did he let me borrow a lens, I ended borrowing a freaking fantastic lens I’ve always wanted to use for an extended period of time: The Leica 21mm Summilux ASPH.

If you’re a frequent visitor of my blog, you’ll know that I love shooting with wide angles.  I own the Leica 18mm Super Elmar and the Zeiss Touit 12mm for the Fuji X Series and I simply love them.  While I don’t think I could ever live without my Super Elmar, I thought this trip would be a perfect time to try something new.  I was thinking of maybe borrowing a 24mm lens at first but I’ve owned a 24mm before, and believe it or not, sometimes I felt I need something a little wider.  So, that’s how I settled on the 21mm Summilux ASPH.  I’ve owned a 21mm Elmarit a long time ago but traded it in for something else.  I always felt it was a nice focal length for me.

I wish I had some pictures I could share with you all taken with the 21mm Summilux but the truth is, I’m such a last minute packer :).  I did shoot some photos yesterday but I will save them for when I get back.  However, I will be using this lens extensively in Japan (knowing my love for awesome wide angles like this, I’ll probably be using this lens more than any other lens that I’m bringing with me) and when I come back, I’ll have a lot to share, and I will be writing up a detailed review of this lens.  Thanks for stopping by!
