<< If anyone has any experience using the 18mm or 21mm lens for landscape
photography, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Do you feel that they
add significantly to your craft or do you use them only rarely? I have a
24mm that I use quite regularly and would be interested in knowing whether
the extra field of view is worth the money.

I have all three but if you have a 24mm, then get the 18mm if you can.
There's not a great degree of difference between the 24mm and 21mm and between
the 21mm and 18mm. My carry-around lens is the 21mm/3.5 complemented by the
28/2.8. It's very compact and produces very high contrast images at the edges
at the closer limits of focus when shooting foreground/backround perspective
shots (which is what I like to use superwides for.) even though it doesn't
have the special close up correction elements. I haven't tried the 21mm/2
though.
