Good catch, Frank, I'm still shooting film primarily, and forgot about,
not so much with the 2.8 though, right?

>>Be aware that symmetrical lenses are -much- less suitable for M8 and M9 
>>than 
they are for film cameras. The 21mm f4.5 is reputed to be stellar on film 
but 
poor on the M8 and M9 since the exit pupil is too close to the sensor. 
Haven't 
tried it myself but there are internet tests out there showing this.
