Frank asked:
"Interesting,.,,,, Erwin, what about protraiture at distances of a few to
several yards?  10-25 feet.... do you change your opinion?

Öf course. I assume portraiture with the 90 to be a full headshot at about 1
to 1.5 meter. I even said this, when describing the type of pictures. When
we do a head and shoulders portrait at 3 to 4 meters, I will always use the
aperture of 2 or 2.8. That is why I have the apo 2/90. Outstanding at all
distances and apertures. When Greg said he diasagreed with my advice, he had
a totally different type of portraiture in mind.
