I believe that because of the nature of wideangle lenses it is more difficult to take a shot of a person, without distortion etc., than with a more normal lens. Of course sometimes that's exactly the effect you want. I find that a lot of wide angle shots lack focus. People tend to cram too much in to the frame and the shotstend to 'fish' or shooter fall prey to the wideangle effect, which becomes tiring after a while. Of course that doesn't mean it can't done. My two cents. Feli ________________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net www.elanphotos.com
