The focal length (for 35mm cameras) closest to the human eye is 58mm. No one really knows what standard the poser cameras are based on (or if they do, they haven't told me), but everyone assumes it's 35mm. So a good focal length for a 'normal' view would be around 60mm. For portraiture, most photographers use an 80 - 120mm lens, although I've used 20mm for portraits too. Pretty weird, but effective if you want the pic to jump out the page. I've used the poser cameras at everything from 2 - 2000mm, and as unzipped says, over 100mm it's hard to tell the difference. The 'best' camera length is the one that's right for what you're doing, but like anything else, you need to know the rules, so you can break them. Any basic photography tutorial will tell you the main uses for all the different focal lengths. You might find something in the photography section here at rosity. mac PS Don't forget copy/paste for cameras. That's a very useful function. Say you've set up the main cam at a weird angle and want a 2nd one further away. Select the main cam and press ctrl-c, then select say, the aux cam and press ctrl-v to paste. It'll now be identical to the main cam and you can zoom out, move around, whatever. If you want your original POV, go back to main cam.
