I would ideally like a 24mm but...the 21mm is so good it not only satisfies all general needs of a wide angle - as it mimics a longer lens yet is wide enough for all but specialist needs - but it answers questions you have not even thought of yet.
I have many 'will this work with the 21mm?' shots that worked great! It's fast enough, in fact it is great wide open, one advantage Zeiss gives you over say the 14-24 Nikkor, and (I think) the TSEs are slow. So that is more versatility too, pretty fair bokeh too.
So in a way it means you need a good reason to buy something else, in Zeiss that is. It is one of few lenses fully ready for future sensors, or in the case of some of us, current high Mp sensors. The real test of the best lenses is this: do they consistently surprise you when you open the files? This one does and I go nowhere without it.

not my taste but the chat on the thread might give you some info.
