You may find that a 28 is too wide for use as a normal lens and not wide enough when you really want wide. On the other hand, other people are perfectly happy with a 28 as their normal lens. You really need to try it for yourself. A cheap way of doing that is to buy one of the Voigtlander offerings (like the 1.9/28) and try it over a lengthy period. If you decide to get rid of it, your financial loss will be limited. Nathan Henry Ting wrote: > My wide angles consist of two 35mms, 24mm, 21mm and > 15mm.
