Left(your)=55mm, Right=100mm For a full figure shot 55mm looked better - to me - but that is perhaps because I have grown accustom to looking at Poser figures using that camera focal length.

Anyhow, Photography is sort of what I was going by, but I may be in error as to my thinking. It seems I was taught (and it has been a number of years, and I tend to unlearn stuff rather quickly) that normally 50-55mm compares to what the human eye sees. For close ups, you want 75-100mm or maybe even higher. I am not saying all that is right, only that is what I have believed to be a true statement. I do know that at one time, that was what was suggested here in the forum, and thus that became habit with me - since I always try to heed good advice. LOL. Only, now it looks as if the thinking, at least for some, has changed, and I was curious as to why. So thanks for answering. It could be that the Dork looked better at 55mm and the Mil People at 100mm - you know, kind of like in a bar, on a saturday night, after a few, with the person sitting next to you....

:O)
