I'd hop right to the 21 without a second thought. I'm sure you'll receive another 82 1/2 suggestions, but as a working photographer and using a pile of cameras and lenses all at the same time, first choice without question is the Leica 21. Even though you require a separate viewfinder to make full use of the lens, it's still the best choice in a practical sense. The bonus is, there are other "far less expensive 21mm viewfinders" than the Leica, that quite frankly is prohibitive and I'm sure dealers online would be only too pleased to steer you in the right direction for one of the economical ones. :-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
