The reason I prefer the 21/2.0 is simple: the viewfinder image is considerably
brighter, and my eyes have always preferred trying to focus in bright light.
If I could get a 21/0.001, I would.
Of course, the damn thing would be bigger than my car, and when I took the
front lens cap off, all the photons in the vicinity would get sucked in to its
event horizon... "It's a miracle! I CAN SEE!" "No, Garth just put the lens
cap back on." ;-)
