Really? That's interesting. They won't adapt it to three? The great lens I 
refer to is the 21mm f/4. It's optically better than the older 19, but I 
would choose the 19 for ergonomic reasons. It is a pretty good lens as 
well, especially stopped down. (And before someone jumps on me for my 
complaint about the 21 being slow, it's best to focus wide open). Remember, 
too, you shouldn't put filters on the old 19, but you can on the 21.
