We went 'round and 'round on this subject six months or a year back.  I
believe it is safe to say that the discussion concluded that the majority
shooting 21mm preferred the older JSK-derived lenses to the Elmarit.  In
any event, Leitz was never completely happy with the lens and have twiddled
a couple of times with its design.
