I'm sure that the dealer (in the West country) who is the British importer would be happy to send a copy. broadly he said that the 28 was spectacular and the 21 (slightly) less so. The 'factor of 3' is hard to quantify of course, only you can decide how critical you want your lens's performance to be, for some it would not be good enough, for others it would be better to have A 21mm lens rather than NO 21mm lens. I'll try and dig out that report, but I have no first hand experience. jem > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Hughes [SMTP:iwhughes@nortelnetworks.com] > Sent: Friday, February 26, 1999 11:39 AM > To: leica-users-digest@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: [Leica] OEM Lenses > > Has anyone had experience with the 21mm Pasoptik lens.
