Hello,

With the recent talk about the 21/2, I was wondering what
people think of it's slower little brother the 21/3.5.  I'm
considering getting an ultra-wide sometime soon, and was
trying to decide which one.  I have a 28/2.8 (and a 3.5, but
its a little fungusy, if that's a word), so I was thinking
that the 24 would be a little too close to that.  That leaves
the 21 or the 18.  

The two uses I can think of right now for this lens are:
I'm going on a week-long backpacking trip in the North Cascades
in August, and was thinking an ultra wide would be nice for
landscapes and the like.  I also could use one for some shots
in some cramped quarters (like the inside of a plane).  

Is the extra 8 degrees of coverage and the little bit of extra
weight worth spending a few hundred dollars more?  Which of these
lenses, if you have both, is your favorite?

Thanks,
Mark Marr-Lyon.
