Well, I can only compare in the 24 and 28 focal lengths, as I've never owned
a 21/3.5.
I sold both my 24/2 and my 28/2. I've decided I'm a minimalist and prefer
light weight over fast speed. Not always, so I'll keep the 21/2, but I find
most of my photography to be outdoors, in reasonable sunlight.
Will I find a time when I regret it? Sure, but not often....
Tom
P.S. I also rarely use my F280, or even my T32....I almost always take a
T20. Lighter, you know. Might start carrying the T18.
