Subject: [Leica] Re: 24mm - too close to 28mm?

24mm is too close to 21mm. I'm still shooting film, and 21mm is essential in
every tight space or up close situation I've ever been in.

28mm is the next substantial step up from 21, seen from a 24x36 film
perspective.

But in a lightweight film M kit, it's 21mm plus a fast 35mm. Nothing in
between matters all that much.

Fly in the ointment: Leica's 24/2.8 ASPH is one killer optic.
