The 19 is just a bit too good I think. The 100APO and 19 are also my
favorites. Strange as it sounds the 19 is my favorite lens out of the two.
If I have to choose one lens for a shoot or similar situation where
guidelines are applicable, I'd take the 100APO - for obvious reasons. I'd
rather look through the 19. I shoot twice as many frames, generally. The
results easily confirm the purchase... For a while I shot R7 19 and 160VC
(portra) and was convinced my photography had taken a leap forward. Portra
for architecture stuff. I have no problems even without the hood which is
great but ohh.. well. Unfortunately, I'm not able to compare to the 21asph
and/or 24asph as I don't own either of them. In any case I got stuck wide
with that 19. The 19 and 100APO are two gems that if you've got them they
are in the never-sell-that one bin. Unless the 19-35/2.8 were around - I'd
sell both lenses in an instant.
<<<Alexander,
As far as I can tell this lense is perfect. I have owned it and
used it extensively and love every minute of it. As far as tangible
feedback I would say that edge sharpness is excellent, feel and weight
are good except some people seem to have a harder time fine focusing due
to the shortness of the barrell. After the 100 APO macro the 19 is my
favorite lense>>>
