I'm thinking of going for one of the new wide angle Summiluxes and am leaning towards the 21. Anyone out there with real world usage of this lens (and I don't mean brick walls and puppies)? I'd like to hear how it handles and how it's changed (or not) your working style.
It seems the 24 has been more popular due to it's smaller size and internal framelines but I just don't get on with my 24 Elmarit on the M8 (finder lines too tight and busy) and it's so close to my 28 Cron (which is my standard lens) it hardly seems worth $6K for an extra stop and 4 more mm of EFOV.
The size and weight of the 21 doesn't bother me (heck it's still smaller and lighter than any of my Nikon lenses) but the price does! So want to hear that it's worth it before I start selling off gear to fund.
