There are times when I wish I had something in between. The new 24 Aspherical is very pricey and perhaps too close to the 21 in focal length. The 28 Elmarit-M has the advantage of not requiring an accessory viewfinder for the M4-P or M6 but is, perhaps, a little close in focal length to the 35. I think it's the better choice for me to add to my kit, at least on the surface. Has any one else solved a similar dilemma satisfactorily? Has anyone added one of the intermediate WA's to the lenses I have and been glad they did it? Should I simply replace the 35 with the 28? The 28 would have to make blistering images to replace the 35 Summicron for me. I use it more than any other single lens. Any discussion would be appreciated. Good shooting.
