I don't know if anybody thought of this, but how about a 50mm lens combined with a wide aspect ratio such as 1.85:1 or more. This is one of the movie aspect ratios, here are some of the typical ones: 1.33:1 Academy Aperture (also 16mm and NTSC) 1.66:1 European wide screen 1.85:1 US wide screen 2.2:1 70mm 2.35:1 Anamorphic Try playing with the aspect ratios and using the safe frame feature in a camera viewport to see what you'll see. Since a monitor is physically limited to 1.33:1 you would need to create a "letter-box" image with black borders. Martin
