I ain't no lemming :-) My take on 50mm lenses is that it generally produces a 
very natural perceived AOV in print, hence the label normal, it's not a 
prescription for ordinary or normal images :-)

I guess I'm just strange, I use 50mm lenses all the time and more so since 
acquiring an excellent A50/2.8 macro lens.

Hell I even use those most outmoded of lenses, the dreaded 135mm :-p
