Which may be the difference between a photo editor and a photographer. I
like to look at the grain a little bit.
With the 50/1.8 as loupe I also like to look from the rear of the lens.
One other person in this thread indicated he looks from front to back. I
feel I get a little wider spectrum looking back to front. Is there a
"right" way of (mis)using a lens for this purpose?
