Message to Helen Hill- you have got to promise to use the 21 at least once a month. Your pictures are sensational! Please.

Bessa R4M, Zeiss Biogon 21mm f2.8, Ilford Pan F in Beutler 1:1:10 for 6 min.
My friend Gary's Tatra T87 - this is a 1948 car with a Buck Rogers Look to it. Rear mounted V8 - gives new meaning to the term "slingshot" effect on a wet roadsurface.
I think I qualify as a 21mm "junkie" with about 8 different 21's.
Damn you guys!. You just made me buy a VC 21mm Skopar...

This is with the Color Skopar 21mm f4.0 in S-mount for the Nikon Rf. Top floor of the Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart. Shot in 2006, TriX, D76 and a Nikon SP
This Thread has ruined me
Looking for a 'new' 21...love what I see HERE with the Compact & Sharp Color skopar
but LOVE Tom's shot with the Elmarit v2...
pre asph Elmarits seem hard to Find and TRES Expensive $1700 & up 😱😱😱
Thanks ever sooo Much 'Kanzir' for your Comment 😉
Helen, the 21f2.8 Elmarit vII is not bad - but with the 21f1.8 coming in January - I would wait and snap one of tose up instead. Markedly better lens and a stop and bit faster - which can really come in handy this time of the year. The 21f2.8 Elmarit was a decent 21 - but no champion. I had several of both the vI and II and never got along with them. Lenses like the ZM Biogon 21f2.8 are much better in overall image quality and the Ultron 21f1.8 is yet another step up. With your penchant for low light stuff - the Ultron would fit better too.
