My personal preference is 24/2, the performance is similar to 24/2.8
when stop down, while the latter one is a little bit cooler in color
balance. But the 24/2 has close focusing correction and is brighter, I
only use ground glass for focusing, so I prefer 24/2.

My subjective performance rating would be (best at the front):

21/2, 35/2, 28/2, 24/2, 24/2.8, 28/2.8 35/2.8

The mostly used focal length:

21, 24, 35, 28

If I can only have one wide angle:

24/2
