Seems like the 21/2 is the rage around these parts, but if you're
shooting your landscapes from a tripod, the 21/3.5 may be the ticket.
You mentioned 24's, and from the looks of the imminent OM-list" 24/2
Panic of 2000 ", I'd say you might want to catch one of these beauties
as the price plummets from oversupply hitting E-Bay. :-) Frankly, in
24's, for a landscapist, I'd suggest the 24/2.8 MC. The problem is
that with OM, there's a LOT of good choices.
