The 21 VC is nice, as is the 21/2.8 Kobalux (if you can find one). The 15 VC
is also a good superwide, but you are likely to see very dark blue skies in
the upper corners. Unlike the 21, the 15 and the 25 are scale focus only.

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.

Rob Pritchett
