In terms of the image quality like sharpness, clarity and distortion, SA is better than Elmarit. I actually have an Elmarit 21/2.8. I have been impressed with the image of Sumicron but never with 21/2.8. No apparent flaw but I would say it's just an average lens. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Hisashi Naganuma NEC Technologies, Inc.
