A 37.24mm f2 would be perfect for me on my digital Leica. My favorite lens now is the 40 for film with my Leica m classic. I find the 24 to be just a big heavy lens. Just a tad lighter than the hefty 21. But more humane. To get all that compactness and up to the minute Leica lens design technology. Not that we need all that cutting edge sharpness at the edges we are not getting when we're not shooting film.
