Well-known
Like most people I have FLs I shoot much more than others and have found that most of my picture taking is done with a 35 or 28 with 21 and 50 following well behind. 28 and 35 may be relatively close together but I find them very different to the extent that I often take out two bodies with each lens attached.
I used to shoot more with the 35 (perhaps 70:30) but have gradually shifted to the point where it is the reverse. The 28 just works nicely, allowing me to get in really close to groups of people but without starting to have that 'woah, thats wide' look of 21mm. It sounds ridiculous to say, but with the 35 I tend to need to walk backwards from where I have found myself. I am producing better photos too....
Have you found yourself gradually moving towards a different FL and if so, did you stay there or find yourself changing once again, either back to where you can from or to a different FL altogether?
Leica, fancy making a compact 28-35 dual elmar? OK, thought not.
