considered 35 to be too close to a 50 to be of much use except as a
replacement for a 50, and a 28 as the first real WA. I see the 21 at the
longest true supersiede. Yes, the 21 can present challenges, but not so many
as the 18...

Hmm.. Bill, all things considered, 21mm and 28mm are still reasonably close
to each other, if one considers a rather minimalist kit of doubling focal
lengths.
But it's such a personal thing. 24mm is probably my favourite focal length.
To be honest, I only bought my 21/2 to replace (well, I still have it) very
worn 24/2 - I would have been happy with a mint 24/2 - but got a good deal
on the 21mm.
21mm is a lot more difficult to use correctly, and I do prefer the shallower
DOF possible with a 24mm f/2 for many shots.
