Assuming your camera has adequate bellows draw,is there any reason to choose a l ong focal length standard lens as opposed to a similar length tele design? Thanks, DAB.

There are several reasons. The standard lens will most likely have more coverage. It may be less expensive and lighter. Also, setting up movements with a telephoto can be confusing because the optical center of the lens is well forward of the mechanical center.
Wind is less of a problem with less bellows extension, which may be useful.
Tele has way less movement and the circle shows up in every shot that requires a little bit of movement. I'd say don't get tele unless you have a good reason for it. Dean
