The immense 135° angle of view is complemented by an advanced optical design that uses low dispersion, aspherical, and high refractive index elements to control a variety of aberrations and distortion to achieve high sharpness, clarity, and colour accuracy. The lens has a manual focus design and permits working with subjects as close as 4.7 inch away and its built-in petal-shaped hood helps to block stray light from causing unwanted lens flare. Additionally, the lens is also characterised by its especially compact size, which makes it ideal for walk-around and travel applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-wide-angle lens is designed for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTwo extra-low dispersion elements are used to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce high clarity and colour accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTwo aspherical elements and one ultra-high refractive index glass element help to control distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eImpressively wide 135° angle of view pairs with a rectilinear design, which renders subjects with minimal distortion in order to suit landscape and architectural applications. This ultra-wide field of view will exceed that of a rangefinder camera's viewfinder and an external electronic viewfinder or live view method should be used for making accurate compositions.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRangefinder-coupled for accurate focusing using the camera's viewfinder; despite the lens having a minimum focusing distance of 4.7 inch, the lens\/rangefinder is only coupled for accurate focusing to 2.3 feet and this distance is highlighted on the focusing distance scale.
