My favourite is the 15 super elmar, which may come down in price wiht 
the release of a new version -------- as if ;-)

I have a 24, which was "cheap", but make wonderful images. The latest 
19 is said to be "fantastic", but it will be much more expensive.

In summary, try a 24, its cheap and wide enough to 'do some damage"

Cheers
