I'm beginning to think the 21mm Limited should be my next acquisition.

I think that the 21, 35 & 70 could tide me over for a while.
Yes that was the extent of my primes for a long while and I find it a great combo. Added the 15 because I needed the wide angle for a specific occasion and a plastic 50 1.8 for low light handheld. Imho the 15 is not very good. If your nick is anything to go by we have similar interests and the 21, 35, 70 is indeed a great set to carry around. The 21 doesn't look to wide when used with vertical verticals.People and off angle shots do pull the perspective quite a bit though. As I've mentioned earlier the pin cushion distortion does make ensuring a square view a bit difficult even if the distortion itself is easily fixed in post.

I have sold DA 70mm, as I have a bunch of other lenses at this FL; however I still miss it and think it is one of the best landscape lenses.

Pushing the DA 35 around a little bit more in the last few days. She seems to take everything I throw at her in stride.

It's a great combination. I've recently added the 15 but I'm not as impressed by it as most people seem to be. For a combo of three small AF primes on APS-C these three limiteds would be hard to beat.
Would you be so kind as to expand on this a bit? I'm looking at both for a forthcoming trip to Europe. It seems like the DA 15 gets all the love, but it seems like gaining half a stop and some sharpness in the DA 21 might be a decent tradeoff for the narrower field of view.

I received 35mm macro today, just briefly tested it. I read some people think that 1:1 magnification is useless, I found it not true. The distance is very close, but for very tiny objects it gives nice frame. It's kind of amazing all-in-one lens. Gonna play with it for a while first.
