Thanks, Bill and Boris. You may very well be correct. This was shot with the 18-55 kit lens at 45. 35mm may indeed be too short. I do have a couple 50mm lenses, an 80-200 zoom lens and a some close up lenses that screw on the front. When I get around to working on another of these I'll take several shots at 35, 50, 100mm. This should give me a pretty good idea of where I'm most comfortable before I purchase a macro lens. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com Shoot more film! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
