I find ZM 21/2.8 quite good. I have some photos taken using this lens (http://www.flickr.com/photos/singaporepictures/tags/biogon2128zm/)
Bro, I'm not 21mm master la!
The Avenon or in japan pronounced as "air-ba-non" is a super performer for its price if you cant afford Zeiss or Leica for 21 wide at F2.8.
Yet to see Voigtlander come out with a 21mm F2.8 but if they do, sure gonna be one of their stellar performer lens for the price as usual coming from these guys but cosina "betrayed" me, these days stopped producing chrome lenses (chiif you hear this?????)
I've tried zone focusing on the avenon at less than 21mm on street, still clear all round! nice!
i have a receding hairline. I find Mihonju's hair very annoying.

If speed isn't critical, consider the Zeiss 21mm f/4.5. Its the sharpest, least distorting 21mm lens I've ever used. And its quite compact too.
My choice too ... amazingly sharp with almost no distortion! And focuses at 0.5m - infinity!
Have anyone here trying out the CV21/4 on the M8? How does it perform? I always find that the voigtlander great value for money.
Hey there! Just wanted to ask those who know more is the third generation of avenon the one with both chrome and black in 0.7m focus distance? And is it more uncommon than the 1.0m focus distance and hence carry any premium?
Thanks!

Yeah that's what is confusing me. I hear that it's only the black millennium that focuses to 0.7m but on a couple of sites I see there is a chrome version too. Mostly released without serial numbers after the closure of kobalux. Anyone know more about the end of the avenon? Thanks!
Thanks! I'll go check it out! From what I've gathered. There's a chrome version with 0.7m focusing. It comes usually without serial number. But some have it too. It was the last edition of the lens. Nice review, an enjoyable read.
