I shoot with a 25mm panleica on my OMD so it's a 50mm equivalent. Am curious if a 35mm is necessary if you have a 50mm in your arsenal (I'm speaking about the 17mm 1.8 Oly)... would I see diminishing returns in the fov? Thanks in advance

Do you have a kit zoom lens? Do you shoot using kit zoom lens?

If "YES" to both, than check how often do you use wide end of your zoom lens. It will help you to answer your question
