28 is the true normal lens on an APS-C camera. Normal lenses have been
defined as the FL equal to the diagonal of the format. 50~58mm is the
classic normal on 35mm, traditional because that's what was used on
Leica, but the equivalent AOV lens on most any other format would be
considered a short telephoto. A 35mm lens gives you the same AOV on
APS-C. To actually get something wide on a APS-C camera you need to
have a 24mm at the minimum.
