If you mean that using PS to alter an image is dishonest but unconventional lens choice is not, you should be writing spin for Tony Blair or George Bush. But then I assume that you were kidding. Larry Z -------------------------- Larry, Two considerations. First, if you're shooting straight portraiture, a 50mm or 90mm will give you authenticity right out of the camera, be it digital or film. Second, If you're shooting environmental portraiture a la Arnold Newman, use any lens that renders your impression of the subject and his world. Just OMO. Bob
