I bought this lens mostly for outdoor scenic/architectural use. It is about half the price of the equivalent Leica lens. At f 11, virtually everything is in focus. Contrast and colors are very good too. I am presently looking for a lens hood for this lens. I didnt use a dedicated view finder especially now you can crop so easily in Photoshop or other software.

I have number of Japanese Zeiss lenses and a German made 15mm . The fit, finish and optical design is excellent on all of them. The only complaint is some of the lenses have excess grease oozing out of the rear portion of the lens. I have had to clean this up with a toothpick and lens tissue. The 21mm is one of my favorites of the Zeiss line. Beautiful IQ. The attached photo was taken with a 6mp Epson RD1.

What's so surprisingly good about the Zeiss 21mm ZM lens is its sharpness across the frame. It's astonishing, honestly, to see how much sharpness you get within an image. I can pixel-peep my images from my M-E and see barely any distortion or fudging of details. Wide-open, it's even somewhat fast enough for available light photography. I wouldn't quite drop it under 1/25th, though. It's worth noting, however, that these lenses do not come with a 21mm finder. Zeiss offers one at considerable price, but I recommend the cheaper Voigtlander 21mm finders or Leica's old 'SBKOO' 21mm chrome finder for the hotshoe. You can get the latter for 250-ish USD used at the time of writing. Composing without one with a .72 / .85 finder is nearly hopeless.

I recently purchased this item and was a bit dubious about my ability to use it properly. I can honestly relate that i am greatly pleased with this lens and have taken pictures that show detail very well and that show colors that are outstanding. It is every bit as good as I was told it would be. I am hopeful that I will have the pleasure of using it for many years.
