Eeehh, just a minute: Surely it must be the combination of a wide- angle lens and closeness to the subject. The problem with "nosus humungus" is not that the nose is big, but rather that it is *disproportionally* large (in relationship to the rest of the face). Consequently, a nose ought to be more disproportionally large with a 35mm from 19 inches away, than with a 50mm near-focus from 19 inches away. Right? M. - -- Martin V.
