Joachim:

The 24 is supposed to be one of the weaker lenses in the R system.  It is,
however, still very good.  Erwin Puts evaluated it in comparison to the 24
Asph. for the M on his site:  www.imx.nl -- worthwhile reading.  My personal
experience with the lens bears out the general wisdom.  I do not own one
though, I have only used it on occasion.  Most R users use either the 28 or
19 or the older 21 instead of the 24.  If it is you favorite focal length,
buy it anyway.

Hope this helps.
