In our large family of fine fixed focal lengths with VM bayonet, the aspherical Hyper Wide Heliar offers the widest diagonal angle of view at 130° and is therefore suitable for gripping reportage as well as opulent landscapes and impressive architectural images.
Hyper wide-angle lens with aspherical lenses, 130° angle of view and exceptionally good distortion correction. Straight lines are captured as straight lines as far as possible, enabling new forms of photographic expression without distorting the image as with a fisheye lens.
The optical calculation optimizes the angle of the incident light to avoid colour shifts at the edge of the image. Outstanding contrast and resolution right into the corners of the image, even at maximum aperture.
The extremely large depth of field means that almost no focus adjustment is required. For example, with a focus setting of 2 m and an aperture setting of f5.6, everything from 0.5 m to infinity is in focus; with a focus setting of 1 m and an aperture setting of f8, everything from 0.4 m to infinity is in focus. Note therefore for users who focus through optical viewfinders: Due to the extreme depth of field, this lens does not offer a mechanical distance coupling between camera and lens!
The minimum shooting distance from the subject to the image surface is 50 cm. This lens expands the possibilities for close-up shots where the strong perspective properties of extreme wide-angle lenses are used.
A very precisely manufactured and adjusted all-metal body ensures a smooth focusing process with exactly the right resistance. This enables very precise focusing.
Uses the VM mount lens mount, which is compatible with the Leica M mount. This lens can not only be used on cameras with a rangefinder mount, but can also be mounted very well on mirrorless digital cameras with a mount adapter.
