yes.. I do too. As i am 35mm shooter, 21mm still isn’t that much wide IMHO..

I love this lens a ton – I used it a lot for this story: http://www.jakob-berr.com/stories/jelera/intro.php (images 5, 9 and 11). If you search around, you can get great deals on it, too. I bought mine, including finder, for $2,800 from the Calumet Clearance Center on Ebay. It was a demo model in mint condition that was barely touched (in fact, I couldn’t even find finger prints on it when it came), and I still got the full three years Leica warranty on it.

I’m a huge fan of wide angle urbex photography, and currently shoot a D700 mated to the 14-24 for most of that kind of work. However, I have, for the last year, been exploring the possibility of “simplifying” my creative pursuits by ditching all my DSLR gear for a rangefinder and a couple of lenses. My one requirement for the switch was that there had to be a really good wide angle lens available for the rangefinder. While I had already been aware of the WATE, I was also looking at a 15mm possibility in the form of the Heliar; however, the issues I have read about that lens mated to the M9 turned me off. Was really glad I came across this review you put up of the WATE, as it looks to be just what I am after for my shooting style. Mark that as another nail in the DSLR coffin as I continue my research into possibly switching systems.

I have the 21 lux, i wish i could indulge in this “lens” for the 16mm but at that price point for a 16mm, it’s rather crazy, do you guys think Leica will have a 16mm prime lens?
