I actually called Don Chatterton to order a non-ASPH and he mentioned that the ASPH was on the way. I sold my 21/3.4 SA to buy it. I wish I still had the SA, but I don't regret buying the 21 ASPH. It's a superb lens, as you know. It's also a lot of fun to use. Using it didn't come naturally to me. I had to use mine a lot before I finally started making good images. I mainly used the SA for interior architecture. I used the 21 ASPH more for reportage type stuff. Here's one (21 ASPH), where I missed the vertical every so slightly. You'd think I'd have learned. :-) http://www.purplehen.com/gallery1/PortaNigra.htm Most of these were with the 21/2.8 ASPH http://www.purplehen.com/charleston/IMAGE1.HTM BTW, I lost the 21 metal finder for the SA. I bought a newer plastic one which I like more to use. But that was a tough loss.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have been enjoying my new 21 Elmarit Asph. Although yours was a bit easier on the wallet. ;-D gene
