I have an R8 kit with a 100 APO Macro ROM and 180/2.8 ROM (all of which I am considering selling since I hardly use them anymore....hint, hint), and an M6 0.85 kit with a 35/2 ASPH, 50/2, and 90/2.8, all new models. I love the M6 more each day, and find myself using it 99% of the time now, only pulling out the R8 when I need to do specific macro work or long distance stuff. I find myself now wanting something wider.....I think I have the entire lens spectrum covered very well right now, except for the superwide and the supertelephoto. I currently have no need to spend money on anything over 180mm. Sure a 300mm or 280mm would be cool to have, and I would use it every now and then, but a good 19-24mm would be used much more, especially on the M. Which one do you recommend for me, the 21mm or the 24mm? I think the 28 is too close to the 35. The guy at my local shop tells me the 19mm-R is better than the 21mm ASPH-M. Any ideas out there?
