Hi George
Absolutely more times than I want to remember when a 2mm wider lens makes 
the difference between a smashing good photograph and nothing.

I find this comment by Philip Forrest who wrote,

>> two millimeters longer (or wider)."  instead, I'd just take two  steps

Foolish gibberish at best and obviously the comment of an inexperienced 
amateur weekend warrior!

Sorry Philip  it's called the real world of working photojournalists!
