Sergio, looks looks like a LOT of barrel distortion on the left side (the ochre building edge); is this a feature of this lens; I was not aware of it? Moiré noted!

Kit, the effect is exaggerated by perspective distortion,camera rotation and also a little by the fact that tubing is not perfectly straight.
Leica declares approx. 2,4% maximum distortion, and it is correctable e.g. with DxO tools.
in this shot you can better evaluate it

This elmarit, in my limited experience,is one of the best (if not the best) wide angle lens.MTF diagrams are simply spectacular, and general rendition is at the same time extremely sharp and natural.

Thanks Sergio; understand completely. I had all the Leica-R lenses at one stage and the best of the Zeiss range (the now-fabled 21/2.8 Distagon); the problem with that lens was its 'moustache' distortion which is difficult to correct completely.
This distortion looks simple, which is good. A fabulous lens, definitely; thanks.

Jim, I carry the 21-35 Vario Elmar. I don't have a 7 but use it on a 5N with an R-M converter + Hawks as it doesn't focus too close. I think it's excellent and can cover the range of 4 lenses, although not a fast prime obviously.
