[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 502879, member: 13090"] Heh... No need to name names, I think I have a pretty good idea. That aside, I don't mean to preach the "one and half times the focal length" as gospel and if someone wants to go to the effort to clearly disprove it, more power to 'em; I would read that post with great interest. Like you I'm a tad busy actually taking shots and working with them to do so myself but I will say "The Guideline" always seemed to work well for me so I have no problem suggesting people use it to see if it works for them.
