I agree with Nathan - and as I opined in a previous note, I don't believe anyone can really determine which lens is going to make it for you.<<< Worrying about whether to go with a 21 or 24, or a 28 or 35, is just another way to distract ourselves. This may be a bit more radical, but I believe that it doesn't really MATTER what lens you choose as long as you're in the ballpark for the way you see. If Ralph Gibson uses a 90mm most of the time, you could force him to use a 75mm and he'd still make great pictures. If Lee Friedlander prefers a 28mm, he could still find a way to do interesting things if he were "stuck" with a 24mm. Just pick one and learn it. You'll get used to it. When you do, it will become what you prefer. <s> - --Mike
