All I has was a 45mm at first.. A couple of years later I went with a 24 2.8 ai in 1977 I used wedding money to get it and a Nikon FM to put it on.. I got a 28 2.8 years later. And years later I replaced those two lenses with AF versions which I still use. Most of us and most photographers I've ever met unless they were just starting out had both a 28 and a 24. Nobody ever didn't have either. That would be crazy. Its always been a basic focal length. Its one of the frame lines in M's since the M2 in 1957. Did you want to have frame lines pop up in your M that you didn't have a lens for? No you didn't. Perhaps with the exception of the 135mm. Or a 75mm.
