I am not Boris, but I am about his age and I am sure you are joking here, particularly for an upright. 1/30 is my absolute limit (perhaps the "practice" bit is my problem). Also, would the balls and face be in focus if shooting at f2? > Is this helpful? To me, very.

It is something that I do not understand about perspective and focal length. Kostas
