So dont step back - look for another framing (or use the 35). Or go even closer! But I agree the 50 is a "difficult" focal lenth. Too short for a tele, too long for a wide. Maybe that's why it is "universal". Personally I use the 40 and 75 more than the 50. Didier >The last year I shot almost a 100% of my photos with a 35. Sometimes a 90. >Never the 50.
