[Leica] 21 % 24 Lenses

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey@mchsi.com)]

I tried both this pat weekend and found both to be very nice, and I also 
lean toward the 24, but don't haveany valid reason.  One thing I found 
outwas that the entire viewfinder is almost the exact image field of the 21, 
which is nice if you do not want to use an external viewfinder.
