Saludos cordiales Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Howard Cummer Enviado el: lunes, 09 de abril de 2007 3:06 Para: lug@leica-users.org 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.
