I love the R 24. Its a great get in close and ugly lens, and the results
look fantastic to me on Kodachrome. I'd buy it second-hand (and did) because
there just must be a new model around the corner, and you will feel silly
holding an expensive out of date baby, even if the results are great, human
nature will make you "dissatisfied". The second hand lens market is large,
and bought from someone who will take a return, is even safer than new.

Cheers
