But > he is not going to either of those places, is he? > > Max > The head of my 135 Hektor comes in handy on my Viso for shooting lint and old socks in tight closets. I use a 135 often when someone needs a headshot in 35mm. A 90 can easily be too short for that it they literally want a headshot and not a head and shoulders. If you were doing it with an SLR you'd often have an 80-200 zoom and you'd find yourself at the outer end a great deal of the time. Hence the popularly of 180s. A 135 could be considered a par for the course lens. A shame a lot of Leica oriented camera bags don't work out with them so well as they are an inch and a half longer than everything else. Time is money. Space is time. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
