I'd like to have the 21 as well but with a 24 already its hard to justify! Maybe not hard to justify - impossible. I just got a 15 - shooting with it now. Its tough to visualize for the 15. It is a big, big jump. And it is not an everyday kind of lens unless you are making your living by photographing the interiors of phone booths. :) Henry >Henry - The 21 2.8 asph is a really first class lens.
