The 7 mm should be adequate. And I expect would work nicely at portrait
distances, even though it obviously would not focus to infinity. A 50/1.4
would be a 70/2 then, might be a nice combination. I'll try that when I get
a chance. My Sigma 400/5.6 works great with the 7mm and 1.4X-A, thanks to
Gary Faulkenberry' for the suggestion.
