And I am pondering to get a 24f2.8-ASPH-M or the 20f2.8-ASPH-M ??? Can anyone tell the quality of these 2 lenses, especially in their optic = and blow-up enlargement qualities. Is there a lot of difference? I can only afford to buy one. Is there a lot of distortion in the 21? I have read some lense reports from the leica link about the 24mmf2.8- = ASPH, it seem to be a much better lense than the 21mmf2,8-ASPH. So i had tried putting a 24 n 20 in my nikon camera for viewing. The 24 is wider than = the normal wide but doesn't have much or very little distortion, unlike the = 20 it seem too wide n when u move close to get tighter on the shot, your = subject become distorted. The only good point i can think of for the 21, it is = the perpective of your subjects. Some advises that I got from photojournalists, get the wider lense to = shoot because we can always crop the picture later on when it is too wide or = too much empty space. However, if the picture required cropping, it will = loss some quality in the final prints, and i may be shooting slides... And futhermore i use the leica M6 is for leisure n self-interest only, n therefore I wish to get only one lense n shoot everything with it Thanks, Dennis - ------=_NextPart_000_00AF_01BF404C.A62B2200 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I just got myself a M6 & 35f2 ASPH. = And I am=20 pondering to get a<BR>24f2.8-ASPH-M or the 20f2.8-ASPH-M=20 ???<BR><BR>Can anyone tell the quality of these 2 lenses, = especially in=20 their optic and<BR>blow-up enlargement qualities.
