Pancake 21mm f/4.5: Review of the subcompact MS-Optics Perar M-mount Lens for Film & Digital Cameras

Subcompact and Creative: A Review of the Perar 21mm f/4.5 M-mount Lens for Film & Digital Cameras The Perar 21mm f/4.5 lens, also known as the Super Wide Triplet by MS Optics, is a remarkably compact wide-angle lens designed for Leica M-mount cameras. This review covers its design, functionality, and image quality across both film and digital photography. 00:18 lens ergonomics 01:55 examples film argentique 02:59 Leica SL2 full frame sensor with microprisms 07:18 Leica M240 traditional full frame sensor 10:22 Leica M8 APS-H sensor The Perar 21mm f/4.5 is extremely compact, making it easy to handle, especially on rangefinder cameras like the Leica M240. It has a smooth focusing ring, providing a pleasant tactile experience. The lens focuses at around 3.5-4 meters for hyperfocal distance, extending to infinity. The aperture, ranging from f/16 to f/4.5, is controlled by an inner ring that remains securely in place, reducing the risk of accidental adjustments. Despite its small size, this lens performs well in various situations, ideal for photographers who want a portable wide-angle option. Starting with film, the lens was tested on a Minolta CLE using ISO 100 film. The resulting images show that the lens handles vignetting and color distortion quite well, with some loss of peripheral color quality. However, it produces a lovely bokeh, particularly noticeable in scenes with intricate details like fences. This compact 21mm lens offers excellent definition while remaining a convenient, travel-friendly option for film photographers. When tested on a Leica SL2 with a 47-megapixel sensor, the lens delivers sharp, high-quality images, though some chromatic aberration and vignetting are present in the edges. The field of view is impressive for a 21mm lens, and the lens renders geometry fairly well. Slight curvature and softness around the edges can be seen in detailed shots, though the lens maintains its overall character and sharpness in the center. Images shot in industrial regions of Belgium reveal the lens’s ability to capture fine detail, but zooming into the edges shows some softening and distortion, giving the images a slightly curved, circular effect. This characteristic may not be ideal for every type of photography, but it adds a unique artistic touch. The lens performs decently in low light despite its f/4.5 aperture. Modern sensors help manage its light-gathering limitations, especially when shooting night scenes or in dim environments. Flares are present when shooting towards the sun, but they are manageable and can even add to the image’s artistic appeal. While not perfect in flare control, the lens provides good overall contrast and sharpness. Vignetting and slight distortion are common issues with the Perar 21mm. Architectural images highlight its tendency toward circular distortion and pincushioning, particularly in the borders. These distortions are noticeable but can be corrected in post-processing. The vignetting, though present, is not overwhelming and can often enhance the mood of an image. When used with the Leica M8, which has an APS-H sensor and a 1.3x crop factor, the lens becomes equivalent to a 27-28mm focal length. This crop factor significantly reduces distortion and vignetting, making it a better fit for smaller sensors. The center sharpness improves, and the overall image quality benefits from focusing on the core of the frame. The Perar 21mm f/4.5 is an excellent lens for photographers seeking a highly compact, wide-angle option with distinct character. While it has some quirks, such as peripheral softness and distortion, the lens excels in portability and offers unique rendering qualities. It works particularly well with rangefinder cameras and smaller sensors, delivering good results in both film and digital formats. Its rarity and artistic potential make it a valuable lens for anyone looking for a wide-angle lens that is both practical and creatively distinctive. want to support the channel ---- 1 - subscribe to the channel, like and activate alert 2 - get the iOS apps https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/app... 3 - grab my books Serial Matnum 2023 07 https://www.blurb.com/b/11665639 Serial Matnum 2023 06 https://www.blurb.com/b/11641364 3 - comment, respond, propose subjects for future episodes yay! :) direct links to playlists ---- http://aishit.net http://voncam.net fast links http://zand.li http://zdrilx.com for the music
