That's the photographic equivealent of PC nonsense. I'm less than a dozen feet away from the subjects. If you use a wide lens and the subject doesn't see you, it's not a sniper shot? Albano has frequently mentioned how he likes the fact that the DA 16-45 looks like a telephoto at its widest point. The subject, he notes, doesn't realize he's being photographed. Now if one prefers the wide angle look with a sharp background a greater fov that's one thing, but it has nothing to do with "sniping." That's total bullshit.
