The Leica Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm f/4 ASPH is one of the most unique and respected ultra-wide lenses ever produced for the Leica M system. Sometimes affectionately referred to as the “WATE” (Wide Angle Tri-Elmar), this lens combines three ultra-wide focal lengths into a single impeccably engineered package while maintaining the optical quality Leica is known for.
Richard acquired this lens during his later years when he became deeply immersed in Leica photography and rangefinder equipment. As with much of his collection, it appears to have seen very light use and has been carefully stored with its original packaging.
The flexibility of switching between 16mm, 18mm, and 21mm makes this an extraordinary travel, architectural, landscape, and documentary lens. The rendering is classic Leica: sharp, clean, and highly refined with beautiful color and contrast. It remains highly sought after among Leica M photographers because it delivers exceptional image quality in a remarkably compact form factor.
This lens comes from a personal collection assembled with enormous care and enthusiasm, and I would love to see it go to someone who will truly appreciate and use it.
