larry's msg read, among other considerations, ..I know that when I spend a lot of time photographing with just a ..single prime lens I learn a lot more than when I use a zoom, or even ..swap lenses on a whim. Spending a few weeks shooting almost entirely ..with the 20mm taught me a lot about selection of focal length, and it ..changed the way I use zoom lenses.
looong ago, but already into the zoom age, I mounted a small photo class. one of the tools was black adhesive tape - on the practical lessons I'd tape my victim's zoom at odd lengths to make them move instead of zoom. further down the classes they became stuck again, this time in focus. lots of laughter, but some useful concepts too. over the time I do change my pet focal length - I'm sort of rediscovering the "longish normal" lately, either with film or digital. on a side note, sorry about my absence - assuming it was noticed :-) - things happen. lf Luiz Felipe luiz.felipe at techmit.com.br http://www.techmit.com.br/luizfelipe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
