What, isn't eveyone talking about with a digital camera. OK, I normally use a 135mm lens (OK, now I am talking about with the 4x5 graphic). Those who pay attention will note that all of those give about the same field of view as 35mm lens on 35mm film cropped to 24x32 or so. That is my preferred perspective view for about 70% of my shots, and gives nice shots of people in their environment. My second most liked view is that of about a 100mm lens on the same 24x32 format, as it nicely isolates people from their environments. The other 10% of my photographs over the past 50 years or so have used something else. In other words those two angles of view accounted for about 90% of my photography. Let's see on your DSLR's that would be about 24mm and 75mm lenses. So if anyone sends me their old DSLR, please include a 77 Limited with it, I already have a 24/2 and guess I can get by with the dreaded green button, but certainly would not object to an A24/2 <GRIN>.
