[Leica] 21 mm lens for M9

[Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com (Frank Dernie)]

I don't doubt the 21mm Zeiss is great in M mount, the one I tried in Contax 
G mount, which I believe to be optically the same, was fantastic.
OTOH the Nikon mount version is optically the same as the Contax SLR 21mm, 
highest of reputations but a completely different retrofocus optical design.
cheers,
