Before the aspherical lens arrived, order number 11134 was Leica's fast 21mm for the M: eight elements in six groups, made from 1980 to 1997, with roughly 13,930 built. Early barrels take E39 filters and focus by scale without rangefinder coupling; the E60 version shown here is the later form, rangefinder coupled, focusing to 0.7m and taking 60mm filters. About 290g. It is valued now for a rendering that is contrasty and well corrected without the clinical evenness of the aspherical replacement.
