Leitz 21mm f/3.4 Super-Angulon
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.
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.
