I make this comment with those > "stellar" reviews of the LEICA-M 24mm asph in mind. I've considered the esteemed 24 asph heavily for the reasons you mention, but keep falling back on the 28 for the ability to frame within the finder (I've never used an external finder, but I don't imagine I'd be a fan) and the lesser distortion. I must admit to being a huge Winogrand fan, and that has me eager to try my hand at street shooting with the 28. If I get along well with it, I may just sell my 35 asph--and so I was leaning toward the faster 28 (Leica or Cosina) just in case. I'm intrigued by the 28 elmarit, though. A compromise in price between the fast Cosina and Leica 28's, and yet likely producing images indistinguishable from the newer summicron. Dan
