And on the rare moments when we can get our doggy to sit still, the 40mm pancake makes a very good pet portrait option! A camera, some glass, a left foot and a right foot.

Get a lot of crazy shots both ways! www.yipdogstudios.com

gasrocks Cream of the Crop  13,431 posts Likes: 1 Joined Mar 2005 Location: Portage, Wisconsin USA More info | Jul 20, 2013 07:48 | #14 My cats are outdoor (only) cats. I only use one lens at one aperture (f/2) on a crop body. I love the perspectve, colors and working distance. Far enough away to not affect what they are doing but not so far that I lose contact with them. Leica 180/2 APO. Even though it is a heavy lens, no monopod or tripod, I have to be able to move quickly. Beffore I sold it I even tried my EF 135/2 out one afternoon. Not the same at all. I was too close, colors were not right, and a lower keeper rate even though I then had AF. Gene GEAR LIST
