According to many who post here, the 24 is one of Leica's poorer lenses, although to me its image quality is acceptable. The 19 (newest version) is stunning both in terms of perspective and image quality. The choice between the 2 optics depends upon the subject matter. The 19 will create dramatic foreground that recedes. The 24 has less visual impact. The bottom line is they are 2 very different optics and both have their place. From my experience, I can guarantee that if you first purchase the 24, you will lust after the 19 until it joins your arsenal. Good luck!
