I regularly use the 21-35, outstanding zoom, and I'm found of true extreme wides (Nikon 15mm, Canon 14 and 15mm, Carl Zeiss Hologon 16mm and Voigtländer, beg your pardon Cosina, 12mm Heliar). That dramatic point of view, that large architectural capture capability make them very attractive in my humble opinion! The only issues are to care the composition, near objects are so much bigger than distant ones, and a true respect to strict uprightness! Not lenses for everybody but once you get them a true source of pleasure! Kind regards Felix - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
