Assuming you have an M with 35 mm frame lines, I'd spend some time fooling around, framing scenes with those framelines. See how you feel about that view. Many people, and I'm one of them, consider their 35 their "normal" lens. The 28 begins to give you a bit more of a wide angle look, but with very little distortion....If you haven't ever done any shooting with any kind of wide angle, I'd be willing to bet you'd find the 21 to be much too wide for you....And btw, remember that the wider the lens, the closer you need to be to the subject, or to at least part of the action, unless you're looking to take semi-panoramic shots of space....;-) B.

I want to purchase a wide angled lens but have hardly any experience using them. Mainly i would use it for street fotos and some interiors. Would any one of you recommend a certain focal length?Or is it just a matter of personal taste?
