This gives me everything from about 6 feet to 15 feet. It's the best autofocus there is. Of course this is for the dances and similar action type things. I also use long and wide lenses for other parts of the ceremonies and/or festivities. To keep it on topic, LUG, I've done some supplemental b&w with a Leica while working primarily with the 'blad. (sorry Marc). Carl S.
