Whoa, pardner. That's the problem with discussions like this. No lens is boring. I've been boring pictures taken with 1200mm lenses, and 15mm lenses. Cartier-Bresson took dynamic pictures on a regular basis with a 50. Again, no lens is boring, only photographers are boring. Regards, Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR
