While I usually prefer to shoot with a 40mm lens, there are times when what I want makes a 28mm lens more suitable, and other times when 28mm is too restrictive and I really need 20mm or 15mm. It all depends on what works for the photographs you want to take. I've gone on trips with nothing but a GR1 or a Leica fitted with 28mm lens and gotten some fantastic pictures. A wide-angle lens is often desperately needed for various scenics that I like to shoot. Godfrey
