A question for you 20-40 ltd shooters: Do any of you also own/use the da 21 ltd, and if so how does the 20-40 compare to that lens at the wide end?

Thanks in advance!

Nice shot!

Also I noticed that you have the da 21 listed in your signature... what's your opinion of how these two lenses compare, IQ wise?

Tough to answer that. I love the size of the DA21...it's nearly always with me...but the WR and zoom flexibility of the 20-40 is hard to beat. As far as image quality, I'd make it pretty much a toss up...if anything I'd give a slight vote to the edges being sharper on the DA 21 but my copy of the da 20-40 is no slouch in that department either. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. If you're interested, take a look at my Single in challenge photos this month.

Thanks for your reply, it was helpful, as was looking at your single in photo gallery - some very nice shots in there. I particularly like the one of Reba.
