Ah, but the point is not to focus on the nose (that's what the 16mm fisheye is
for ;-). Doing portraiture with a borrowed 21 is what hooked me on Zuikos.
Somewhere in the old wallpaper sample book I use to hold my prints there are two
favorite portraits taken with the 21, both have the subject seated with their
feet out (hmm I guess I'm not all that inventive). Sort of an L shape with the
shot taken from somewhere in the open part of the L. In the first an officemate
has his feet up on something while he leans back in a chair and the shot is
taken from high above. In the second a friend who'd commisioned a portrait for
inclusion in an art project got pushed back into sitting on a sand pile. In
both, by not getting too close I got good representations of the models while
the background does interesting things. No overlarge noses!
