After I posted that message I realized that I wasn't clear about -which- 21
was the lens using 49mm filters... of course it is the 21/3.5. I have had
one of those for several years, and really love its 'wide' feeling,
especially for interior shots. I recently got the 21/2.0, and that lens has
that same 'wide' feeling, but also something more... not sure how to put a
name to it, but the view seems to look better. I think the 2.0 aperture
helps focusing with a lens as wide as the 21's, too. But a kit using the
21/3.5 would still be a great compact all-49mm-filter kit!
