Sal, Julian/s,

from whjat I recall of our conversation with Leica at photokina, they 
declared the reason to be a physical impossibility. The size of the masking 
frame stencil is not large enough to allow a frame for either the 24mm or 
the 21mm to be cut into it.

To the two Julians,

    The reason Leica did not include the 21mm or 24mm frame lines in the 
.58
viewfinder is the lens would block too much of the viewfinder.
    Somethings are just not meant to be.
