The lens is really well made, looks more "professional" than the 25 skopar. What I like: - - the overall very good result (I shoot only two films yet a velvia and a XP2) but I cannot compare with any of the Leica 21mm since I do not own any. - - the vignetting and distorsion are very well controlled - - the viewfinder is great and has the same kind of frame that a leica one, with a doted line for close shooting ( a lot better than the 25mm viewfinder) - - the lever to adjust the focus - - the size and weight What I don't like: - - the max ap. of f4 (hard when using mostly the 35/1.4) - - very prone to flare when the sun is in or close to the frame (this is the same with the 25) - - not possible to set the distance without the small lever I think this a very good deal for a lens that I will use less than for 5% of my pic! :-) krgds, logan _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
