Actually, I used the 21 quite a lot before getting my 24. The 21 is very
similar to the 24, only more so. Easier to get perspective exaggeration,
when you want it and when you don't. You need much more care that the
camera is level. The sweep of sharp focus from foreground to background
objects is better. I find the 24 to be more all purpose and bought it after
discovering the Galen Rowell used it for more of his landscape pictures
than any other length, at least until he was seduced by Nikon into using
zooms.
