Looking at your pictures I'm getting the feeling it's actually a plus the zoom range starts at 28mm in stead of 24, as it prevents you from using 24mm overdoing the wide angle look. 28mm is more subtle.

You can do a lot of these with 28+50mm (lens changes, I know), eventually adding the RF 85mm f/2.0 IS stm.

In my view, what warrants the use of 28mm are not the same scenes where the 24mm most shines.

In my experience for most parts 35 mm is wide enough for people which is kind of the reason why the Fuji X100 series have 23 mm lens, so for that reason 35-70 mm lens would be more than sufficient.

but that is only in theory and very subjective. i like 35mm FL but not wide enough for group shots or some landscape. like i have mentioned before, i love my canon EF 24-70 f2.8 mk2. i have done several wedding parties without using flash (using available light) and got a great deal of keepers.

They cover different purposes.

I've always seen 24mm on FF as the "environmental portrait" FL of choice.

If one wants to photograph human beings doing "their thing", be it in working environments or leisure/sports ones, 24mm ads to the narrative in a way that may fully describe the ambience, while still keeping the human figure the main reference.

It has come to a point where I can recognize 24mm has been used, almost intuitively, whenever I happen to come across an example of that type of photographs.

It is also the reason I have been eagerly waiting for a 24mm from Canon (...the EF versions did not fit the "price-to-performance" bill, in my view...) and already have the RF offer under reserve, here in my country.
