I prefer the 24/2.8 most of the time for a really wide lens, but the
28/2 is exceptionally sharp and gives me a little bit of crop room to
round out to what I normally use a 35mm lens for. It's a really wide
normal. The 28 is usually not quite wide enough nor long enough, but
if you carry just one wide in a two-lens set, I really like the 28.
For full-frame 35mm. In 4/3 crop sensor, this focal length (14mm) just
isn't wide enough at all.
The OM F2 Zuikos have an exceptional 3D rendering to the images. But,
when it comes to pure character, give me a 50/1.4.
