It was my intention to get the 24 and skip both 28 and 21. Would you say the 24 edges out what is being offered in 28? I would think so. I am glad we were about to see a direct M to R Comparison but we are also looking at an ASPH to non comparison. Although formulas are well known could you tell me/us if we are talking retrofocus design M's against non Retrofocus Teles turned backwards R's. I am undoubtedly oversimplifying the matter.
