Also, while the Elmarit 21mm ASPH is an outstanding lens, I didn't think I could live with the frame/focus/frame routine necessary for this lens. Both the G 21mm & 28mm Biogons are very sharp though I wouldn't bother with any lens comparison tests. The other posts correctly pointed out the limitations of the G2 finder, and I agree it "stinks" to a certain degree. But you buy into a system knowing its limitations, and I personally would only trust the G2 rangefinder to wide DOF lenses such as the 21mm & 28mm because it bothers me that I can't see it focus. All in all, I am a happy man. Now I carry around the G2 w/21mm/28mm and the M6 w/ 35 'Lux and 50 'Cron. My Nikon F4s will never see daylight again! - - Cheers, Ray
