I like more, not less in a photo, and the wider the angle, the more I get. With the M8, I use a 21mm from a couple of generations ago. Wide means you have to get closer for the photo to work, generally speaking. I must confess, that once in a while I do use a 50 and a 90 just to make life interesting and try new perspectives. My taste in protraits goes to Arnold Newman who liked to photography his subjects in the context of their surroundings. Doug
