Subject: [Leica] Wide angle wonders

	Now that I have my basic Leica - R outfit (R4, 35 f2.0 old, 90 f2.8 new)
I would like to look at purchasing a wide angle lens.  My choices within my
budget are:

	19 f2.8 old 
	21 f4.0 where I'm currently leaning
	24 f2.8 seems hard to find used - probably a vote in favor of this one
	
I would like to hear how the 21 measures up to the other two primarily in
terms of sharpness.  I just read from another user that the 28 R(old), is
sharper than the 21, but 28 isn't wide enough for me.  I also know that the
new 19 f2.8 is a real beauty but I won't be able to afford that one unless
some charitable person has a real bargain for me.  So any advice would be
greatly appreciated.
