Scott,

I made a point on one road trip a fews years back of only bringing along one 
M6 and my 35 summicron and VC 21/4 lens. I found myself using the 21 as much 
if not more than the 35.

Today, I consider the 21 (VC in LTM, Zeiss in M mount) as an important part 
of my street, city and landscape arsenal and the single focal lenght lens I 
use the most. If you make an effort to photograph with it (not portraits) 
you will find it is not a "boutique" lens but an important part of a camera 
system.

It also, like the VC 12/5.6 is a great way of learning the importance of 
keeping your camera perfectly level when using it. I still use a level with 
both the 12 and 21 lenses but I only really need it for the 12.

Here is an example of results you can get with the VC 12/5.6.
