Bob Shell did a very good review on these two lenses in Shutterbug either
last month or the month before. I've heard the 21 is VERY good & I plan on
getting one to use with my IIIf. Doubt I'll use it much with my "M" setup,
other than to just compare quality with my 21 Elmarit (non-ASPH).

Thanks for the reply,

I think I'll try the 21mm and see where it takes me.
