I never was locked into a particular focal length, but I did shoot with my
MDa Saturday to get all of the frame of my 15mm.  It was fun, but I probably
could have accomplished a similar look with the M8, because all but one of
my film keepers could have stood cropping.

I mainly still use my 35mm Summicron, even with the reduced fov.  I use the
28mm some as a regular lens, but it is the look of the 35 I love, and I can
always back up.
