For the photography I shoot, sun rise, set, architecture, hong kong night
sky line, temples and mountains etc I use a 24mm more than a 28mm. I only
occasionally resort to a 21mm f3.5 when I simply can't get back far enough
to use a 24. True the 28mm f2 is super sharp and I am very happy with the
shoots I get from it but often its just not wide enough for me, The
olympus 24mm f2.8 is quite nice in the centre but a bit unsharp around the
edges, I only recently got a 24mm f2 so I will reserve comment on it until
I have more experience of it but it seems a better compromise between edge
and centre sharpness. I find that I have quite a bit of trouble with the
21 because if it is slightly off level then parallels converge - its a
tough lens to align and use. This is not a critisism of the olympus 21mm
f3.5. But very wides in general.
