Hershel: Food will be in the list of things to photograph so your comment is appreciated. Cheers, James -----Original Message----- From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Herschel Mair Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2009 5:57 AM To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Subject: Re: Nikon PC lens recommendtion? A tecnicality you might want to consider is that the DOF will be identical with all the lenses at a given magnification.... In other words, shooting at 1:1, what will change is lens-to-subject distance and perspective but not DOF. The shorter the focal length the more radical the effect of tilts. Don't write off the wide angle too quickly! I have a 24mm f1.4 macro lens and I've done some great food photography with it. herschel
