I feel an urge for a 21mm, but which one..?

back in the days when I was shooting contax G2 the 21mm was almost glued to the camera...
I can now feel that I miss that wideangle point of view.
SO the question is which one should i try to get hold of.
I think it stands between;
zeiss biogon 21/4,5, Voigtlander 21/4,0 and Leica Super angular 21/3,4
The lens is to be used on my MP and also on the M2 that i used won on an auction for 260euro cant wait to get my hands on it :)

anyway, I think that the super angular would fit just perfect to an M2 but the ones I have seen up for sale lately has been very expensive, could get a new Voigtlander for less money....
and then if I am going for a newish lens, is the Zeiss wort twice the money over the Voigtlander....?
questions questions.... please give me your opinion on it!

Why don't you convert your Contax G 21mm lens to M mount? You can take a look here: http://www.japanexposures.com/lens/
I have the converted 21mm Contax G lens and it is my favorite lens right now. It is smaller in size compared to the 21mm f2.8 ZM with the same image quality (I suppose). And it focuses very quickly with the 'tiger claw' focusing tab.

Some images taken with it and my M4:

sorry to say that I sold my entire Contax equip. when I went digital, now I am more or less back, sold all my digital (except for my iphone cam :)

Just got hold of a used ZM 21/4.5 so I will try that out, think I will be happy with it!
