John,

I was trying my best to describe an effect that the use of lenses of different focal lengths has on objects in the near and far distance.

I may well have used the wrong term and for that I appologise. As the bulk of my education was done under a Flat Top Thorn tree in Kenya and I have only one book on photographic technique, ( and this is not described there ). I was trying my best to find one word that would do.

So I am quite happy to bow to your knowlege of terms.

Allways willing to learn - what word is used to describe this effect ?

Don
