I'm just going to get a 24 and that will be my wide end. That had to be the old 19, not the new one. The new one will blow the old one, and the 21 out of the water, wide open. No question about it, this is one of the best wide angle lenses Leica makes. Period. The tests as well as every single person I've talked to who used one will agree no this point. It's not just me. The 24 isn't even close. (And I've owned two of those and used them professionally for years.) If you give up on the 19 (new version) you are losing out. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Police tagline. Do not cross.
