The only drawback was the inabaility to control selective depth of field but fortunately that never came up for them. Any way I can help email me privately.

I haven't done them in many years, but when I did it was typically with a view camera in 4X5, or occasionally with a Hasselblad. For lighting, it was always big studio strobe lights, usually with umbrella reflectors, or softboxes. I haven't seen anyone doing much in the way of food shots with 35mm. - --- Aka Yote <akayote@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Dear friends: > > > I know, from what I have perceived > (my perception may be wrong), nobody > likes doing food shots or talking > much about it. > > It may be weird, but, I have found > doing food shots and have also found > some enjoyment doing them (I know, I > belong in the nut house).
