A reason I like a 50 is that when used with skill it can emulate a slightly wide or Tele focal length. A dozen years ago BL (before Leica's) I got a new 50 1.4 Al for the Nikon and I shoot for a week for it a whole on location fashion issue for a local paper here. I did not take that lens off there camera, did lot's of horizontal's. Had always felt you needed at least an 85 if not a 105 to do anything resembling clothing. The 50 did not compress the people and I worked more intimately and with a better hunk of the environment. Mark Rabiner
