Great shots there BC.
I can also see the merit of using these lenses as stopgaps:
- the 24mm is a bargain bin wide companion for anyone using the 28-75 as their main lens;
- ditto the 20mm, but it's also useful in the same role for anyone whose standard zoom bottoms out at 24mm;
- the 35mm is a bargain bin semi-standard companion for the users of the 17-28 or a wideangle that tops out at 24mm, before the tele.
It's really similar to how people are using a 50mm ish lens as a stopgap between the 16-35 and 70-something. I've been doing that for ages now.
Of course it would not be a consideration for someone who owns both the 17-28 and the 28-75.
