Hi Paul, Our local press seem to use two FLs 20mm and 300mm for most shots, the 20mm shots are used for the openings, crowds, etc. When they need a little drama they might shoot up from down low but in most cases distortion is less apparent than the hugh contextual influence due to the inclusion of surrounds in the image. So all I'm saying that when shooting WA lenses and maintaining attention to subject distance and composition and supposing the lens is low in geometric distortions perspective distortion seems not to be a problem. Then again maybe I'm just conditioned to see past it? :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html
