I know I know. It's OK with me :-) I think John Collier (used to be on the
list) has over 50 50mm!!!

Me? It's tough enough deciding which focal length to use, or which camera
to use (usually it's XPan or the M9) ... Trying to decide which version of
a focal length will drive me nuts.

Your mileage may of course vary.
