Welcome!

Ah, the joy, the pain, of Zuikoholism. :-)

The 24/2 is the only one that you see negative comments about. I have the
whole set, EXCEPT the 24/2, and I opted for the 24/2.8 instead. In
particular, the 21/2 is an AWESOME lens -- I beleive it is the only one of
its length and speed available for ANY camera. But be prepared to spend
nearly $700 for a good used one!
>I've seen Gary Reese's test page--a real treat--but noticed

Don't know why it isn't listed, but it gets favorable comments.

Bummer. Just got rid of my spare 35/2 and my 21/3.5.
