Any ideas out there? I would have to say that from my extensive use of the 19 that if the 21 is better, it's not important enough to make a choice between the two. The 19 is as good as it gets on film. I think the more important issue is handling. Will it be easier for you to control the keystoning with an SLR or a rangefinder? I think an SLR is easier. But I've used SLRs for years. I'm still rather new to the M6, with only about a year and a half of shooting experience with one. And it's much easier to determine if the reflections caused by the sun (which are greatly suppressed by the 19, but not completely) with an SLR. You can see them. With an M lens, you can't. Which camera do you use more? What kinds of things will you shoot with that lens? And will you eventually want both? :-) ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch He prayeth best, who loveth best all things both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.
