Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussion] Coverage <snip> One thing I especially like about the super short focal length pinhole is that it kicks me in the rear with lousy images every time I stand more than 18" from my subject. Using 50mm on a 4x5 means that you run the risk of having your subject poke you in the eye while you're trying to maneuver close enough. It also FEELS weird and overbearing to place a 4x5 studio camera mere inches from something. The whole experience makes for a very strange, enchanting, but also humbling encounter with reality.
