Thanks for your opinion Howard, it's what I think, there's a small
difference between both lenees, and I use very few the 21.

Saludos cordiales

Asunto: [Leica] 21 % 24 Lenses

Hi Luis,
I have the 21 Elmarit pre Asph (purchased used from Bryan Caldwell several
years ago - thank you again Bryan) and the 24 Elmarit Asph purchased new
from the redoubtable Dr. Yao (thank you Joseph). In use with the M8, in the
field, I don't see much difference in their image cutting abilities at
middle apertures. I know that may be heresy but that's what I see. With the
M8 I lean to using the 24 more than the
21 because with the 24 I don't need a separate view finder. Both lenses at
the moment are visiting Solms to be coded.
Cheers
Howard (still in Tokyo)
