I have old glowy 90's for shooting woman, because I value my health. I have nine 50's from the Summar to the current Cron, because sometime I want to shoot a landscape and give it a very romantic look and at other times I need to see every last detail possible in my subject. I also own different lenses for some of the other cameras I own. Like a Wollensak Verito softfocus lens for 4x5, along with a very sharp Schneider 150mm. To me they are just different brushes to paint with. ;-) Feli On Mar 14, 2005, at 4:27 AM, B. D.
