D. Good point most of my experience has been with really long lenses so i,m not very comfortable moving up close to people.What i find surprising in your answers is that the 24 mm is hardly mentioned while some testers seem to get ecstatic over it. I presume one would either like the 21 or 28 with no much use for anything in between or is there an other reason? Thanks for all your nice replies. simon jessurun - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
