This is something I can understand very well. For quite a long time I'd been
lusting for a 21/2. Then, I had the chance to obtain a 21/3.5 (silvernose,
SC) and/or a 24/2 (MC) as part of the payment for the Second Hand Cameras
website I made. I had a long think about it and I came to the conclusion
that I'm more likely to use the 24/2 much more, than the 21/3.5. I have to
admit that if the owner would have offered me the choice between a 24/2 and
a 21/2 I would probably have taken the 21/2, but looking backwards on it, I
think the 24mm focal length may suit me better, especially as I have taken a
liking for those "right in your face wide angle people shots", and I think
that the perspective one gets with a 24mm for these shots is about the limit
of what's acceptable...

Well, who knows, perhaps someday I'll add a 21mm, or even an 18mm or 16mm to
the line-up, but for now, I too am happy with a 24mm as lower focal length
limit.

forward to it..

Definitely! It's a nice little lens that gives excellent results!

Cheers!
