Rob,
Why don't you have a look at the Voigtlander 21mm Color skopar. It's dead
cheap and gives very acceptable results.
These shots were taken with one...

The downside is its small maximum aperure (f4.0) and it is a bit fiddly in
use IMO. The upside is that it takes 39mm filters so I can use all my
existing filters for B&W work. Whilst I would love the 21mm ASPH and/or
24mm for that matter, they are truly in dreamland until my Lotto numbers
come up.
Cheers
