I always have a second body with a 50mm which works very well as a short telephoto and to isolate the subject. Basically what focal lengths you use will be determined by how your style evolves. sl http://www.streetphoto.net - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
