Good day, and a very happy Saturday to all...

Having 'liquidated' my Lecia collection some years ago (to fund my 
childrens' trip through private high school), I am left with only my trusty 
M2 and a couple of lenses... 50mm 2.8 Elmar (old version) and the obligatory 
35mm Summicron.

Having been very fond of my 21mm 2.8  Super Angular, I am interested in 
diving back into the 'super wide' arena but simply cannot justify the outlay 
for a replacement for my now-on-somebody-else's-camera SA.  I have been 
thinking of the VC 21mm, as it seems to be an acceptable substitute.

So, I was wondering if any (or many) on this list were regular VC users - 
21mm or otherwise - and what your words of wisdom might be in the regards 
these lenses.

Thank you very much for your time and kind consideration.
