This is why for non macro usage 50mm lenses are considered "normal" / "general purpose" and 90-105mm lenses are NOT. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christian Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2007 2:46 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Macro Lenses J.
