For a 1:2 magnification a longer focal lens will render objects in better proportion. ie, the distance to the lens for 50mm at 1:2 is 6 inch while at 135mm it is 16 inches for the same scale. My personal recommendation would be a first version 90mm f/2.8 with a 16464 mount. Cost less then the 65 and gives nice proportion. Chris At 03:00 AM 2/2/2007, you wrote: >Dear fellow Lug folk.
