18, 21, 24, 28 and 35mm are actually pretty well spaced, with noticeable
differences in perspective and coverage. If using 'sneaker framing' of
nearby subjects, they certainly overlap in coverage, but the image can
differ quite a bit. If there is background at any distance, its relation
to the foreground shifts. I know it may be heresy, but the Vivitar
S1/Phoenix/?? 19-35/3.5-4.5, in addition to being optically very good, is
an interesting way to experience perspective differences over the wide to
super wide angle range. It's quite an inexpensive way to find out which
focal lengths one prefers in that range.
Yes, I considered it, but it appears to be quite a large lens - and I do
like a lot my 24/2.8 Zuiko. I prefer to get another wide(sr)-angle lens to
complement it.
