right on the 35, but the 28 is wider than most anything called normal in the old days, I recall when 55mm on 35mm film was "normal". Regardless, the K24/3.5 is pretty damn good too, which I forgot to mention...

Both of which are "normal" on an APS C sized sensor, 35mm being ~ 50/55mm the longish normal we're used to with 35mm film cameras. 28mm being approximatly the diagonal of the sensor, making it a true normal as defined my most other photographic formats.
