Put $$$ in your pocket......

I was trying to decide between the 2 lenses.    At first, I wanted the
faster lens..... then Henning reported the superior performance of the 4.5,
and the additional weight and size of the 2.8,  That swung me over to the
4.5.

Now if someone will please sell a used one at a cost that is reasonable, I
am all set......  Ebay has not cooperated on this one......

Just curious, other than distortion, what can the 21/4.5 do that the 2.8 
cannot do equally well at the same aperture?
