Oh, haha, that's not what I meant, sorry I should have been more clear. I want to play with some old teles, but that's just as a photo nerd.
As a street photographer, I'd never use a long lens. That's not my thing, I like to get close. Not saying it cannot or shouldn't be done, I'm sure someone with more talent can make it work in the street. But most of the time I see teles used in the street, it is as a crutch, to avoid getting close. j -- Juan Buhler - http://www.juanbuhler.com On Fri, Apr 2, 2021 at 2:57 PM Ralf R Radermacher <fotor...@gmx.de> wrote: > Am 02.04.21 um 23:42 schrieb Juan Buhler: > > I need to get my hands on some longer old lenses.
