This is correct. Bob Shell also used to argue that an 80mm on MF was
too short for portraiture, and any number of successful portraits
shot
with a standard lens put the lie to this...
In fact, many of the famous Rollei portraitists further heresied
the
camera-to-subject issue by using Rolleinars

I think we're talking this lens to death. And we do it all the time.
We talk about it so some guy doesn't have to bother ever using it.
A piece of gear someone has sitting right in front of him on the
table. I'm
talking about lifting a finger.
This is a new phenomena it wasn't like this when people would buy
and sell
stuff from the SHUTTERBUG. On the interest now we WIN a piece of
gear in
action not really knowing or caring what it is and then with it
sitting on
the table right in front of us start typing into our laptop asking
all about
it!!!! That saves us from having to go through the trouble and
wear and
tear of actually taking it for a spin.
Its then put up for action again.
I'm sure this has become a norm.
Because we're not looking at any real interest in photography we're
looking
at a real interest in playing with money.
I suggest a little less buying and selling (auctioning really) and
a little
more using is in order.
