Anyway, in my SLR experience I've pretty much adopted the 24mm as my normal lens. I do carry a 35mm but don't use it a whole lot. We also have 20mm at work but I find it too wide for most situations. So, Leica-wise, I've got a M4-p coming and I bought a 35mm f2 as my first lens (taking my own advice to new photographers because I consider myself new at this Leica thing). But I'm wondering about the wide angle specifically 24mm vs 21mm. I'm thinking I want a 24mm but the 21mm has been the Leica standard for so many years. Is there any reason to expect I would like the Leica 21mm better than the Nikon 20mm. Wouldn't they be pretty similar. Also, I know you can't view these wide angles through the viewfinders but does the focus link up?
