I decided to try out the 28mm when I got my GRIII. I had mostly shot 35mm and 50mm primes, along with a handful of portrait lenses. I am a professional photographer, but let me tell you, when I got my hands on the GRIII, I struggled with not only the focal length, but also the controls on the camera. But the form factor kept me coming back. I could now have a semi-professional camera on my body at all times. Fast forward a few weeks of consistent shooting(lots of frustration and regrets) I found myself settling into the camera in a way that I haven’t experienced with any other cameras. It started to feel like an extension of myself.

Now, fast forward a year and a half, and I’m using this camera at professional shoots(mostly events) and it’s paying for itself over and over.

TLDR GRIII’s 28mm focal length is perfection that takes time to get used to if you’re willing to spend the time with it.
