Specs
This 21mm f/1.4 is a standard wide-angle lens offering an equivalent focal length of 31.5mm to 42mm, depending on mount choice. The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is well suited to working in a wide variety of lighting conditions and also offers selective focus control to emphasize specific subjects in the frame. A manual focus design is employed here again, along with an internal focus system and non-rotating 58mm front filter mount to both maintain the overall length of the lens during use and prevent filters from rotating when focusing. One extra-low dispersion element and three aspherical elements are incorporated into the optical design to limit color fringing and various aberrations in order to achieve greater sharpness and clarity. The Ultra Multi-Coating has been applied to all elements in this lens, too, and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth out-of-focus areas when using selective focus techniques.
Centre sharpness is outstanding between f/2 and f/11, with some softness evident wide open at f/1.4. At f/16 and f/22 sharpness is beginning to drop off a little. The edges aren't quite as sharp, with the best results obtained between f/4-f/11.

The center of the field is favored, starting off at good levels and peaking at f/4 - f/5.6 where performance approaches excellent. The edges lag behind, reaching very good levels at around f/5.6 - f/8. The result is a bright, contrasty image that gives an impression of crispness. The fine resolution may not always be there, but the images look good.

At open F1.4 aperture lens is a little bit soft at medium to long focus distances. Sharpness improves from F2 and F2.8 while the peak performance at the center is found at F4. Diffraction becomes noticeable from F16.
