<< after using the 21 for the last
 couple of months I find the 35 mm starting to take that role.  Maybe it is
 just puppy love,  and I would never give up my 35 mm Summicron - I still
 use it most of the time - but this new 21 mm is a remarkable piece of
 glass.  >>


David:

I am happy to find someone that cherishes their 21mm aspheric as much as I do.
I have two M6 bodies and the 21mm is always attached to one of them.  I have
found that it is difficult to tell that you used an ultra wideangle lense if
you keep it level.   Many years ago I owned a Hasselblad SWC that gave me some
of the finest photographs that I ever took.  It was relatively small for a
2-1/4 camera which made it extremely easy to carry around.  The M6 with the
21mm reminds me of the SWC, only much smaller.   I am in the market for a
Hasselblad 903SWC and I will use it often, as well.

I hope you continue to enjoy it.
