Current B&H prices for the 21/2 and 21/3.5 are $940 and $500, respectively. I
don't do any extreme wide angle interior photography so the benefits of the
f2 would be lost on me. I couldn't be happier with my 21/3.5 as it fits into
the way I shoot, i.e. landscape with near and far objects in focus. The edge
sharpness and contrast when stopped down are superb when the lens is used
this way. Reese's tests seem to give a sharpness edge to the 21/2 but I don't
seem to miss it.
