As you already know, the 21 SA has just about zero distortion: you can
put something in the corner and it will look normal. One of the reasons
I put up with the relative slowness and the lack of metering with an M
is the absolute fabulous performance of this wide angle.

I've been off with my magnifying glass looking for distortion in the
corners
but I couldn't find any.

Joseph,
It is the 3.4 that I have. It is indeed a very fine lens.

Hi Don
Great and candid shot.
Was this the F4 or 3.4? In any case it reaffirms my belief in the SA.
