Well, yes, in the sense of "is that a long lens or a normal lens?", sensor size has to be taken into account, but I'm never sure if people mean this in field of view terms -- you'll see about what somebody normally sees -- or in terms of apparent distance, or just what. I will admit to being a bit cranky about trying to get flying birds into the field of view of long lenses generally, too. :) -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
