Any opinions? I really need help- I actually want to get a >Seagull and a Lubitel for my shelf collection! ;) I have used the 24 Elmarit extensively. It's a great lens, if not one of the best Leica ever had made for them. But it's no competition for the 19mm Elmarit (the new version). But there is a significant difference in the angle of view. They're two quite different lenses. The 19 is harder to work with, because of lines converging so drastically. And you have to get in REAL close to get dynamic pictures. So if you want a lens that costs more, and makes you work harder, get the 19! :-) ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch You're only young once; you can be immature f'ever
