I have the 24/2.8, 35/2  and a 50/1.8 and a 50/1.8 and a 50/1.8
.............

I find the 35/2 and easiest to use in my novice hands, while I find the
24/2.8 takes a fair dollop of know how and experience to use
successfully, especially for landscapes and I've got the pictures to
prove it - some absolute failures that is :-( 

Lately I've been packing  24/2.8, 35/2, 50/1.8, 100/2.8,  300/4.5, 2xTC,
hoods, filters, cable release, mini tripod, and an OM body with no lens
attached into a medium sized camera bag.  I used to keep the 50/1.8 on
the body all the time but found that quite often I'd be swapping it for
another focal length on when I came across a photo opportunity. 

Regards
S.C.
