I feel of all my cameras my Leica m is the best for head shots or tight portraits. I keep in tough with my subject through the viewfinder with no blackouts. Hate those mirror blackouts!!! They always happen right when i take the picture!! did they blink? Did I? 24mm= 630x950mm or 25x37 inches 35mm= 430x640mm or 17x25 inches 50mm= 277x416mm or 11x16 inches 90mm= 220x330mm or 8.5x13 inches 135mm= 220x330mm or 8.5x13 inches mark rabiner :) http://spokenword.to/rabiner/
