Both the Sigma 24mm f1.8 macro and the Samyang 35mm f1.4 then make a bit more sense, as one is on the wide and one on the long end of the range you are thinking of, and both open up considerably more than the Zeiss 21mm f2.8. And both are relative bargains too. The wider Zeiss is mainly a landscape lens, the other two are a bit more versatile (the 35mm as street shooting lens, the 24mm as close up wide angle lens).

Hi BC:
The Samyang 35mm f1.4 sounds interesting, it got good reviews at both PZ and lenstip. But I heard that Samyang is going to release a 24mm f1.4 lens, and a 24mm lens with f1.4 is more attractive to me than a 35mm lens with f1.4. So I would wait for the coming up of the Samyang 24mm f1.4 and reviews on it then decide between the 24mm f1.4 and the 35mm f1.4.
Regards,
Frank
