I have both the 24 Elmar and 21 SEM, and choose the 24 Elmar 90% of the time for both street and landscape. Better corner sharpness, a preferred compression and less distortion (my 21 SEM has more field curvature than the 24 Elmar). Why Leica ever discontinued this gem is beyond me. Attached image is with the 24 Elmar on the M10 Monochrom with Leica green color contrast filter. Exposure was 24 seconds at f/8.0 and captured in White Mountain National Forest, New Hampshire. Click image for proper viewing.

Rural backroads of NH with 24 mm Elmar-Asph; this lens is a lower contrast than the 21 SEM, and therefore preferred for harsh lighting as in the attached image. M10 Monochrom with Leica yellow filter.

One of the fantastic things about shooting street with a 24 mm is that you can move in close, approximate focus distance and never really have to raise the camera to your eye if something spontaneous happens and there is no time to do so. Caught this moment with the M10 Monochrom and 24 Elmar at chest height set to f/8.0.
