If you need metering and don't mind a bulky lens, get the latest 21/2.8 ASPH. But I vote for the current 28/2.8 - a wonderful lens with nearly no distortion and wide enough at least 80% of the time, in my experience. Don't be convinced automatically by those who say it's too close to the 35mm - it is really in another league. Plus, a good size and no finder hassles. I found the 24mm (being in-between the two) to be a compromise and I sold mine after a few months.
