Anybody used this > lens? Yes, I have. It is a very good lens. Not as sharp as the Elmarit 21/2.8 ASPH, especially at wide open, but generally very very good. My only complaint is that it is a very large lens (filter size 58mm) and its finder is huge - if it were a lens it could take a 39mm filter! If form factor is important I would say the Skopar 21/4.0 is a better choice. It is sharper and is cheaper at approx. US$350 with finder. Joseph
