About prices, a very nice looking copy (with original hood !) of the 21/3.4 just was just recently here in the classifieds and sold for about $850.

The 21/4.0 is the older (first) version and was made in both, screw-mount and m-mount. Not that great optical performer but sought-after by the collectors. The following design, 21/3.4 was only made in m-mount but for a quite long time. It is nearly free from distortion (symmetric design) and has a fantastic center-sharpness. Strong vignetting in the corners is the price to pay for this design and lacking TTL metering (the rear element blocks the meter cell).

I like mine ! :)

100 % agree. Add that if you stop to f 16, vignetting and soft corners go away. I fail to see the lens attraction except for small size.

I bought mine new, kept it three months, bought a new pre asph 21 2.8 which I still have for 25 years. It has been on numerous M cameras, M8 and M9.
