Perspective is determined by the distance to the subject, not the focal length of the lens. If you shoot something with a 400 mm lens, and the same thing from the same distance (with lots more foreground, obviously) the near-far relationships that are in the viewfinders of both cameras are exactly the same. -- Eric Welch ewelch@gp.magick.net 04/19/96 10:47 [ Grants Pass Daily Courier ]
