I am a fan of the 28 also but because it is so close to the viewing angle of the 35 I honestly have trouble when looking at negs telling which lens took which picture. So with that in mind the 24 seems appealiing. But then since I have a 28 it seems to make sense that my next wide should be a 21. sl
