The 50mm on a 1.6cf body would end up about 80mm.....certainly a portrait lens?
On my 1.3cf body, it works out to about 65mm which is still sort of within 'normal' territory.
I can work with it as such.
As for a 2-d design classs and other education for budding photographers? I guess we'll just have to differ. Modern students get a digital and start banging away on assignments. Do you say to take only 10 shots? or just go for it? I don't know, but I've seen people who could get good results in half a dozen pictures OR miss it entirely in 200. That's why I believe some art education is important, to culture whatever 'eye' is there. Teach composition and 'elements' or whatever the current phrasiology is. Even spend some time looking at the 'classics'. Know the rules before breaking them.
Too much is never enough
