Try this. Take a frame with the 21mm on an M8 then shoot a film frame with a 28 and look at how the subjects relate to each other in space. Its subtle but for someone like yourself who has worked with a specific focal length with film then goes to a crop camera version (with wider glass) there is a pronounced difference. Yes I know how just a few millimeters of focal length changes many things sometimes profoundly...its this exact thing I'm talking about above. I hope this is understandable. Everyone who uses the 18 loves it...will you get the Milich coding?
