A sub-forum on specific focal length lenses:
for EXPERIENCED users to identifiy their successes and failures with that focal length only.
To inculde the type of projected attempted with pictures when possible.
So for a 300 MM lens it does do X______ well but doesn't do Y ______ when the circumstances are like X_______. Yet another 300 MM lens did do the job. Or, required that I use X ____ filters; or, a certain film______; or a certain film/developer combination.
My guess is that sometimes we were pleasantly surprised with a certain combination and at other times we had to scamble to find a combination that worked. Telling heroic tales is easy and natural IMO. A sub-form within Lenses and Accessories need not become an "answering serivce" for the masses to learn about their latest find or curiosity -rather let it be a teaching by the experienced.
I don't know how it could be organized for specific focal lengths as opposed to a great stew of different focal length; but, I'd like to learn about the applied elegance of specific focal lengths.
