If you are going to get one, and only one, R wideangle lens this is the one to get IMHO. It is excellent. Despite the lack of an auto diaphgram it can be used as a general purpose WA without too much difficulty. I also have the old 28 mm elmarit R, but not the new one so I can't comment on any optical improvements. Perhaps another LUG'er can comment ?
