I have an Elmarit-M ASPH 21/2.8 sitting unused, it's a great lens, it truly whips the Pentax's butt, if there was a decent body I could mount it on I would have. I owned and sold an Elmarit-R 19mm f2.8 in 2001, not bad but nothing special either. > BTW, the FA20/2.8 is probably at least as good as the Canon EF 20mm f/ > 2.8. I have one of the latter.

We obviously just have different needs, requirements and standards.
