[Leica] That 50

Being used to the 35 does not mean that you should try to have the same 
framings and compositions with the 50. So dont step back - look for another 
framing (or use the 35). Or go even closer!

But I agree the 50 is a "difficult" focal lenth. Too short for a tele, too 
long for a wide. Maybe that's why it is "universal". Personally I use the 40 
and 75 more than the 50.
