This sort of photography is like any other sort of photography - you can choose to do your own thing, or you can try and copy what other people do. Do you like to shoot people with a 24? If so, go for it. For the available 35mm light stuff, I use the 24/2 and 85/1.4. I probably use the 24 more often. Of course, you have to get right in there. When I have to switch to flash, I'm generally using the 28-70/2.8. Bruce is right, you generally don't want to use something this wide with groups due to edge distortion. I don't like to go wider than 35 for that sort of thing. tv
