What I always did when my only lens was a 58mm was to crop as needed. These days you can also stitch frames together. More likely, if the lens is too short, you crop in post production. If the lens is too long, you get creative and look for alternate compositions that are detail shots. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
