The 21mm is a CV and thinking whether to use it with the CLE exclusively since the CLE is light and small. Till now, I have not bought a single serious Digital. I only digital camera i will bring along is PS Canon. Thanks and hope you will venture into this sort of trip too. Tibet and Xinjiang are two places that I intend to visit in the near future. There is this new railway to Tibet from China proper (Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing). The carriage are specially built with oxygen supply for each pasenger due to high altitude. Love to try that instead of flying to Tibet. Regards, Nelson
