I rerally prefer the 24 over the 28. the wider perspective is really nice
to have most of the time. If I don't want to use the 24wa then I almost
always use a 35. You do have to be more careful with horizons, and other
straight lines with the 24, but the results are wonderful!

For a couple of 24 of mine see:

there are three 24mm shots on this page. The loading is a bit slow, but I
think you might find the shots interesting. There is also a shot using
the 35-70 f3.5-4.5 zoom that was shot at 35mm.
