Take 3. One more time...
We were discussing the offset between the viewing and taking lenses, the
built in framing compensation, and the fact that the offset results in a
noticeable perspective difference working close in unless the taking
lens is moved to the position of the viewing lens. All of that is
accurate and none of it is irrelevant. It is an effect that is known and
well documented. Are there work-arounds? Yes there are. Are they
suitable for everyone and every situation? No they are not.
Jackson Pollack dripped paint from buckets to create what are now multi
million dollar pieces of art. He could not have produced the same
results with a brush, knife or air gun. Of course an artist can use all
kinds of tools to create brilliantly; this does not mean that all
artists will create successfully dripping paint from cans.
Jeez.
