Greg,
I have frames from those lenses shot at the PMA trade show.  The 21 Biogon
is especially wonderful if you do not need a fast lens.  The 18 is a good
lens but there is not a lot of competition at that focal length so if you
need it there you go.  You can not knock the prices and the build quality is
very, very good.
