I found the 21/f2.8 Asph a bit soft in the corners wide open -- on  
film, probably not an issue with an M8). It was great by f4. I shoot  
wide open a lot so I switched to the 24f2.8 Asph and it performs much  
better in the corners wide open albeit at the expense of field of  
view. I look forward to hearing seeing how the 21 Summilux performs in  
the corners wide open with film.
