The reasons why I went with this focal length are similar to what others have said: the 28mm is not different enough from the 35mm (which is my "standard" lens) and the 21mm is too extreme. The 24mm is part of my "travel-light" outfit; for instance, when I went to Greece earlier this month, I took only my M6 with the 35mm, 90mm and 24mm lenses. The 24mm proved extremely useful in narrow streets and also among the columns of the Parthenon, Zeus temple etc. This summer, I used it to take some great shots in the chateaux of the Loire Valley in France. I never felt the need for a 21mm lens, and on the other hand a 28mm would not have been wide enough for many of the situations.
