Thanks, FVerbass. Yes, that basic Poser camera controller move is most certainly a dolly as opposed to a zoom.

As I said in my original post, as a grey-haired cinematographer, I'd bloody-well better know that difference.*

Several years back at Siggraph, I asked the Poser developers' what the camera format was (in the pose room) relative to focal length and they e-mailed me back saying "a standard 35mm still frame". I've applied that just as an average to everything and it seems to work out predictably in that regard. In Lightwave, for example, you can actually set your camera's imaging chip or film format size--which I find really nice. I believe I asked for that feature to be added to Poser back then, but haven't come across it.

Anyway, as I work in Poser more, I'll update this thread with my findings--relative to mapping face photos onto the models. My point simply is that matching the perspectives between the real and digital cameras being used should make the process in the face room a lot easier.
