I have thought for some time about getting the Ziess 21mm Distagon. I think before you buy a new lens you should research it out very well, because Ziess is most likely riding on their reputation and not all their lenses equal their reputation.


Looking at your kit, I would make another suggestion. I own a 7D that I bought three months ago. I have two 5D's, if I were trying to do what you are talking about I think the 5D Mark II with the lenses you have would get you a lot closer to doing what you want than buying a new Ziess lens. Maybe see if you could get a loaner 5D for the day from the local camera shop and try it out with your 24mm.


You are right that people that are real good could probably do it with a "nifty fifty". But most true master craftsman in any trade would tell you, quality tools while they do not make your skills better, they can make your job a lot easier.
