I'm reminded here of the film "Leon" with Jean Reno. He describes the training of an assassin. A begriming 'cleaner' uses a high power rifle and a telescopic sight. An experienced cleaner may use a hand gun and shoot from the hip, but a master gets right in there with a knife. When you're a street photographer, it's easy to start with a 200mm lens and stay away. As you get better, it'll get down to an 85 or even a 50. But a master is someone who can use a 20mm lens, inches from someone's face and not be noticed. dave - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
