If you clicked on the title, I suspect you understand what I mean.
Where are the high quality 28mm lenses? The 28-50-85mm triplet has been the holy grail of meaningful photography snice forever. Aren't you annoyed by the 24-35-50-85mm bullshit being forced down our throats by the SoCaNicon MBA bean counters, just because 4 "lenses" is better than 3 from the P&L point of view?
Shall we all travel to Tokyo, catch/kidnap Sony/Nikon/Canon execs and gently push well-lubricated 24mm and 35mm idiotidc "lenses" through their rectums to get the message to the corporate?

Where are the high quality 28mm lenses? Competent photograhers are fully aware that 35mm and 24mm are equally idiotic focal length choices. We all know that the 28-50-85mm triplet is the holy grail of meaningful photography. We're all triggered and annoyed by the 24-35-50-85mm bullshit being forced down our throats by the SoCaNicon MBA bean counters, because 4 "lenses" is better than 3 from the P&L point of view.
Are we going to stand up?

AFAIK, no interesting images were ever created with 24 and 35mm focal length lenses. Only 28mm and 50mm lenses mattered. Why the fuck are we getting silently molested by the bean counters?
It's time to fight. Here's the algorithm:
1. Buy a 24mm or 35mm "lens".
2. Return.
3. Repeat.
Make them bleed. Force them to become normal again.
LFG!
