It was also the first RF lens I owned, along with a Bessa L. Here are some shots I've taken with the lens: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nihraguk/tags/21mm/ The lens is light and compact, and I find the focal length great for travel and landscape photography. It wasn't very difficult to get used to it; I find that it represents my full field of view and a little bit of my peripheral vision. On short trips I tend to only take the 21mm along; with the Bessa L it is a light and reliable kit sufficient for my needs.
