Leica super elmar m 18mm f 3 8 asph vs laowa 14mm f 4 ff rl zero d?

Both are manual-focus primes for full-frame cameras, but they cover different angles. The Leica Super-Elmar-M 18mm f/3.8 is a Leica M-mount lens, so it only fits Leica M bodies. It's the more moderate wide angle of the two.

The Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D is the wider one, and it's much more flexible. It's made for Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, L-Mount and Leica M, and it also works on APS-C bodies, where it frames like about 21mm.

If you already shoot a Leica M and want a wide angle, I'd go for the 14mm, since it's wider and still fits your camera. If you want the 18mm look or a Leica-branded lens, the Super-Elmar-M 18mm is the one. For help with angles, see the focal length converter.
