Alright, I'll jump in as I have both lenses. The 18 is great, but has
very specific uses. It gets a lot of attention from me, but from what I
understand, it is not *that* much wider than the 21.
In a perfect world where I was not spending all my money on shift
lenses, my kit would be the following:
8/2.8 (over the 16/3.5 because of uniqueness)
21/2
28/2
50/1.4
90/2 macro
135/2.8
250/2 and of course the
350/2.8!
I know it's unrealistic, but all of the lenses are unique and seem like
logical steps in the way I photograph out side of work. For my
side-business of Arch. photo I have:
18/3.5
24 shift
35 shift
50/1.4
85/2
135/3.5
200/4
most of the work is done w/ the 24 and 35 shift and the 18/3.5, but the
cost of all those already has me spending too much!
I guess the short answer is to get the 16 over the 18 if you already
have the 21.
Hope this help a little....
