Some people don't take to this especially people who are not real tall to begin with. . I had a client get irate about that once. I've had very few irate clients. But he was right. After that if I used a 28 in a crowd I'd not get the people from head to foot only the top half of them. Waste up. If your using Leica not Nikon optics the heads at the edges are less watermelon like.
