A quick gut-check for any listing below — condition and accessories shift the line, so always read the listing. Special edition and multi-lens set pricing is not included in the fair price calculation.

The Leica Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm f/4 ASPH (nicknamed the "WATE") is Leica's second three-position M-mount lens, designed by Peter Karbe and introduced in 2006, still in current production. Three discrete ultra-wide focal lengths (16mm, 18mm, 21mm) at constant f/4, in a compact barrel only slightly larger than a Summicron-M 35mm. The WATE requires the Leica Universal Wide Angle Viewfinder for accurate framing because no M body has built-in frame lines wider than 28mm. It's the reference ultra-wide M-mount lens. For the full guide see Leica Tri-Elmar Lenses.
