You may recall a funny Seinfeld episode where Kramer lets a jellybean fly into a surgical patient? Don't want that! I'll probably take a 135 (on the M3) because the story is about 1 particular surgeon and I imagine I'll want some 'beads of sweat shots". Shooting families (sometimes grieving), children in recovery etc. will also be a tough challenge... Will post when I complete the gig...
