"see shoot!" As it should be without thought! Motivated only by what we react to in the viewfinder! Although I use wides in many situations, particularly interiors and in travel type assignments where I can make something look more attractive than others who've only the use of a 50mm lens have gone before me. On my M8 I find using the 21mm very interesting as it sort of looks like a 35 without cutting off some of the frame if I were to use my 35, which I would on a full frame Leica, M9 or film M7. cheers, ted
