25mm as in 21ltd is ok or 25mm in 35mm equiv as in 18mm kit lens wont be wide eanough?

Adam · 06-03-2008, 12:22 PM

Ignore 35mm equivalence- if the lens is labeled at 25mm or under for a DSLR, it's fine for the contest.

Folks - just go here - start a new thread - enter your submission to the contest. No one but you will be able to see it until the end of the month.

These and other instructions are here.

Buddha Jones · 06-09-2008, 04:47 AM

Man, only 2 submissions thus far... I hope that everyone still has their kit lens or a replacement for it somewhere.

MRRiley · 06-11-2008, 03:48 AM

Dang... recently took the perfect shot for this but it was 26mm.... what a difference a "silly millimeter" can make. LOL

And if anyone can tell me the significance of that quote, the next time we meet, lunch is on me...

That would have been a cigarette add for the "New 100mm" cigarette. Can't remember the brand but I think it might have Marlboro or PAL MAL golds. It was in the late 60's

Benson and Hedges...they were 101mm..."A silly millimeter longer...101"
