Any kind of paper? Is there any paper more *true* then another? I'm 
daltonic - do exist this word in English?- so I've got problems for 
distinguish some colors mainly greens. In my case only b&w pictures 
could be true, but, let's think.. what I saw wasn't in b&w,...so? My 
screen is calibrated with the spider every month so the images after 
fifteen days are not so true. A wide lens has a smaller image while a 
tele has a bigger image of I've visualized. Only the standard lens 
produces truth?

Not kidding more , Richard, truth escapes to the Photography  that is 
not more and not less than an art or a technology or a skill of 
capturing images with the light for pleasure, business or any other 
reason. As finally every image is represented in our brain who on earth 
knows which image is true or not!

Regards

Felix
