[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am JUST the right age to remember this perspective/foreshortening argument in both Modern and Popular Photo..... expanded to include..... The Elmar or SUmmicron 90mm on a Leica M3 The Hektor 73mm On a Leica LTM (I guress the 90's as well as the 105 Mt Elmar could be added... I might also include the ( senior moment) Whatchamacallit with the Disks.... Was there a 85 also????) The Triotar or Sonnar 85mm on a Contax RF The 105 Nikkor on the Nikon SP or Nikon F God knows how many other FL were included in other brands.... The final recommendation was..... whatever YOU like. Yes, I shot them all..... they all work. I prefer the argument of the sharpest lens for the portrait, then being told to use a Stocking to degrade the image for womens' portraits....made no sense to me.....use a Coke bottle for those over 60.... Frank Filippone... getting closer to 60 than I will admit to.... red735i@earthlink.net
