Quite a fun little lens, though I'm not 100% sold on its abilities yet. Just a few:

I don't have any experience with the 21mm Limited, but those shots look great.
The bokeh in the 4th shot is a bit crazy and distracting, but the color is fantastic!

Overall, I'd be happy with these shots and the 21mm Limited. The color rendering is amazing!

Yeah, the bokeh is one of my concerns.

If I do end up selling it, it'll probably be to pick up the 12-24, so I wouldn't feel too bad about that.

Can't argue with the colors, though.

Yes, these images are very good.

The DA 21mm takes great, contrasty pictures with good colors. Sharp too!

Nice colors from the looks of the expressions on some those candids they subjects are not certain either

(as I have seen that look more than once ) - nice set of shots.
