I love this little lens!

My only issue is lining up horz/verts, for which I do NOT use the
external VF, but the Leica VF (on those shots where it matters).

IIRC, on the CVUG list they said that the VF is designed to stick
on a Bessa, and that it might be a tad off on a Leica M body (I've
never attempted to confirm or deny this).

Have fun! Oh, my 2nd issue is that personally, I have to be in
"wide mode" to shoot with it - I can't easily go out with two bodies
one with a 50, say, and another with the 21/4. Instead, I might go
out with just the 21/4 or maybe paired with a 28/2 - hence my
terminology "wide mode." But this is probably just a personal
limitation.
