21 lux on the way

I've been thinking hard about this lens for a long time and especially since the M9 arrived. I got a wonderful price from a dealer I can't name as he only had 2 he could sell at this price, and I couldn't resist. I'm excited by the possibilities of this lens, from club music venues to landscape, I just had to share that excitement with folks who understand! Should have some impressions and images by next week. best...Peter

Of course, Peter, you realize I was saying I was jealous of your acquisition, not that I actually hate you. :)

Congratulations.
My head said no and my stomach said yes when I wondered if I shoot exchange my 24 Elmarit with the Lux.
After receiving it I have to say there is a clear difference and a certain look one can achieve with an f1.4 ultra-wirdeangle lens and I am very happy with my 24Lux.
I am sure the same will happen to you with the 21Lux.
I head a hard time deciding between the two but for my purpose the 24 seemed the lens where I would want f1.4 and that look more often than with 21. I admit though that it was a hard choice and some images I saw from the 21 Lux were very impressive.
Show us some images as soon as you get the lens.

Wahoo! You are going to LOVE that lens! :thumbs:

I've been shooting with the 24/1.4 ASPH for some time now ... and it's amazing to see OOF areas with a super-wide this sharp and subjects shot close up.

I'm tempted to add the 21 also .... can't wait to see some stuff from yours.

Well, I actually hate him . . . and anyone else who has one of these:ROTFL:

Congratulations Peter - I hope you're very happy together.

Actually I think I'm more jealous of Thomas with the 24 - either way, it's as far away from me right now as an S2!

The 24 vs 21 lux debate went on in my head for a while. I decided that my 28 cron would give me a somewhat similar degree of subject separation wide open as the 24 would. I also wanted to explore a wider lens, and figured I would get more use from the 21 lux than a WATE as I do so much low light work. I also have a chrome 24 elmarit I am very fond of....though I may let it go after the 21 arrives and works it's way into the field. Did you hear that Jono, I put your name on it! ;>) best....Peter

Hey, waitaminute - you're in Huntington? So am I!

Congrats on the lens - very sweet. I've been tossing around the idea of the 24 Lux myself (if I stick with the M8) though I'm leaning towards an M9 and/or a Nocti lately.
