21mm f/3.4 — — 13 £220 – £956

{"overview":"The Leitz 21mm f\/3.4 Super-Angulon is an ultra-wide-angle prime produced in both Leica M rangefinder and Leica R SLR mounts. It was designed as a compact, high-performance wide for architecture, interior and landscape work, and remains a sought-after classic in Leitz's wide-angle catalogue.","market_narrative":"At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the 21mm f\/3.4 Super-Angulon have ranged from £300 to £930, with a median around £600 based on seven recorded sales — wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail. Clean examples tend to sell for the upper end of that band, while copies with cosmetic or optical issues have fetched as little as £300; a strong 2021 result of £930 shows what a tidy lens is worth today, though prices have softened in more recent sessions.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear elements carefully for haze, fungus and cleaning marks, as the deep rear element sits close to the film plane and is vulnerable on M-mount copies. Check the aperture blades for oil, confirm focus is smooth without grittiness or stiffness, and look for coating scratches or separation at element edges. Confirm whether you are buying the M or R variant, as the two are not interchangeable and command different levels of buyer interest.","specs":"Ultra-wide 21mm focal length at f\/3.4 maximum aperture, offered in Leica M bayonet and Leica R SLR mount variants.","faq":[{"q":"What is a Leitz 21mm f\/3.4 Super-Angulon worth at UK auction?","a":"Recent hammer prices range from £300 to £930, with a median around £600 depending on condition and mount."},{"q":"How much does a 21mm Super-Angulon sell for in clean condition?","a":"Tidier examples have sold for £719 to £930 at auction, while rougher copies drop to the £300 region."},{"q":"Is the M or R version more valuable?","a":"The sales history does not separate cleanly by mount, so condition, glass clarity and completeness drive value more than the M versus R variant alone."},{"q":"What should I check before buying one?","a":"Look for fungus, haze, oil on the aperture blades, coating scratches and smooth focus action, and verify the mount matches your camera."}],"confidence":60,"reasoning":"Seven auction records give a usable price picture, but SPECS and facts are empty so optical and production detail is deliberately omitted."}
21mm f/3.4 M — — 5 £467 – £1,252

{"overview":"The Leitz 21mm f\/4 Super-Angulon is an ultra-wide-angle prime offered for Leica rangefinder and reflex cameras, produced in screw-mount (LTM), M-bayonet and R-mount variants. It was designed for architectural, interior and landscape work where a very broad angle of view was needed, and it remains one of the earliest widely used 21mm options in the Leitz catalogue.","market_narrative":"At recent UK auction, hammer prices for this lens have ranged from £180 to £562, with most clean copies sold between 2023 and 2025 settling in the £250–£380 band and a median near £300. Earlier saleroom results, including a £780 hammer in 2019, sit above today's typical level, so in 2026 a buyer should expect the realistic wholesale value of a user-grade example to be a few hundred pounds rather than the higher figures occasionally seen historically. Condition and mount variant drive the spread: cleaner examples and sought-after variants sell for more, while hazy or fungus-affected copies routinely fetch the lower end of the range.","buying_guide":"Inspect the front and rear groups carefully for fungus, haze and cleaning marks, as these are the most common faults that knock saleroom prices toward the £180–£250 floor. Check that the aperture blades are dry and snappy with no oil migration, confirm the focus helicoid turns smoothly without grinding or stiffness, and look for coating scratches or signs of element separation around the cemented groups. Confirm the mount matches the body you intend to use — LTM, M and R versions are not interchangeable — and that the correct external 21mm finder is present if buying the rangefinder variants, since a missing finder affects resale value.","specs":"Key specifications from the data: 21mm focal length, maximum aperture f\/4, offered in Leica screw-mount (LTM), M-bayonet and R-mount variants.","faq":[{"q":"What is a Leitz 21mm f\/4 Super-Angulon worth today?","a":"Based on UK auction hammer results from 2023 to 2025, a typical example is worth roughly £250 to £380, with exceptional copies reaching into the £500s and tired examples selling for under £200."},{"q":"How much does a 21mm Super-Angulon sell for at auction?","a":"Recent UK saleroom hammer prices range from £180 up to £562, with a median close to £300; this is the wholesale price achieved in the room and excludes buyer's premium."},{"q":"Do the LTM, M and R variants have different values?","a":"All three variants appear in the sales record within the same broad price band, so condition, completeness of the external finder (for LTM and M) and cosmetics tend to drive value more than mount alone."},{"q":"Is the Super-Angulon still a usable lens today?","a":"Yes — when clean and free of haze, fungus and oily blades, it remains a practical ultra-wide for Leica users, which is why decent copies continue to sell for £300 or more at auction."}],"confidence":70,"reasoning":"Twelve sales records including eight from the last three years give a reasonably stable price picture, but SPECS and facts arrays are empty so technical detail is limited to the model designation and listed mount variants."}

Sales History

Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Rows marked offer accepted did sell, on the date shown, but eBay does not publish the amount that was accepted. The figure we show is what the seller was asking, so the true sale price was lower — treat it as an upper bound. These rows are excluded from every price range, average and valuation on this site.
