I am fully aware that I will regret this for the rest of my short miserable
life. :-) Though I love the 21mm, I just do not use it often enough and I am
constantly trying to twist that 35mm summicron aperture ring just a little
further open. As Dr. Deadman has said, the more lenses you carry the fewer
shots you get. A curious aside to this thread is that when I told my wife
what I was doing she was devastated as she had just ordered a 35mm
Summilux-Asph for my up coming birthday! She just hates it when I spoil her
surprises and boy was I surprised! I have, however, convinced her to cancel
the order. I am still selling the lens and a fellow Leica-user is actually
interested in taking it as part trade on a used 35mm Summilux-Asph which he
has surplus to requirements. As a result I have scored MAJOR points with my
much beloved wife which will be very useful when the mythical M6E comes out.
