The Noctilux. Where do I sign up? A 21mm lens is so wide that it is not adapted for anything that does _not_ require a wide angle, whereas my current 35mm can serve for multiple purposes. The Noctilux can also serve multiple purposes, and it has the great advantage of extending handheld photography well into the evening. A 35mm Noctilux would be even better, but either way, I think it would be more useful to me than the 21mm. -- Anthony
