     --> I had been under the impression the newer 24mm M
           was an astounding reference in the real world.
           Since you own the Summilux 35 f/1.4, 
           would it not be wise to add a new column
           to your "short list" for a LEICA 24mm asph M,
           photo wise ?
           You probably received the e-mail where LEICA
           announces a new metal viewfinfer for the 21-24-28mm ?
           
           For years, I had grown accustomed to use my 28mm lens
           almost exclusively (NOT a LEICA ... ), but I have lots
           of 25mm experience and I really wonder what choice
           I'd make between their newest 24mm and 28mm ...
           Image composition can be tricky at 24mm, especially
           with converging lines, as in "over composed" for "effect"
           rather than reach for an "inner eye" view of the subject and 
scene
           in the final print, sequence or collection.

           It's easy to get addicted to a 28mm but, system wise,
           it's too close to your 35mm at the sort of prices LEICA 
           equipment commands. I make this comment with those
           "stellar" reviews of the LEICA-M 24mm asph in mind.
