It's just another tool
with its own optical relationship
between focal length and capture area.

For large format folks who consider
our 300 mm lens "normal" on our 8x10
we'll see the 300 on the 24 x 36 format
distort the perspective and DOF
(and we'll have to back  a    w    a      y  quite a distance to get  
the same field)
when compared to our normal 8x10 format.

Choose your tool
make wonderful images.
