[Leica] How many 21mm Summilux users here? Are you all happy with the lens?

no other camera company has to deal with used market like leica does. and i
think this is one reason they keep coming up with the new version of the
same lens to kill the old and attract the new. even going to the extreme and
producing a 1.4 21 when the 2.8 was just excellent . 24/2.8 not good so now
a 24/3.4..... this is a very unique situation. they are working really hard
to make a dent in the used market, how do u think they are doing?
