A lens is a lens. I have a Darlot Petzval that focuses at three inches (75mm) on my Chamonix 4x5. Because the film size is 20 square inches, the image has room to spread out and this is a very wide angle lens on that camera. I had a Nikon F-mount made so I can also use this Petzval on my Nikons. On my D800E, it still focuses at 75mm. On the D800E, with its tiny sensor that 's less than 2 square inches, the lens is a portrait length telephoto. On my D7100, the lens still focuses at 75mm. On this smaller sensor a 75mm lens is a medium telephoto. The lens does not change no matter what camera it's put on. It will always be a 75mm f3.5 lens. What changes is how much of its the image circle you use.
As for your question, you're highly likely going to find that 24mm isn't anywhere near wide enough, unless you have another lens that is wider. Now, exactly what are you wanting the lens to do? What sort of photos do you intend to take? That's the whole thing--match the lens to the use.
