It's probably only second to the 21 ASPH, with the benefit of being on an SLR, which is significant for ultra-wides. It's a superb lens. Don't know much about the Super Angulon, but I do know that shift lenses have great performance when not shifted, because the image circle is much larger than normal lenses. I'm not saying that because I have a 19 Elmarit for sale (but I did say it now for that reason! :-) It has been one of my favorite lenses.
