I used a lot a 24mm on an F5, which is not per se a tiny point and shoot camera. There was absolutly no problem with getting close to people and snap their portraits. I have made 1000's of pictures and there have been only a handful of occasion where with a simple (but genuine) smile, I could not take a picture. Enjoy your trip (if you haven't already).

You become a virtual peeping-tom. Better to spend time with the subject and shoot intimately, nice and close. Marcus, The problem with a long lens is it can create a feel of voyeurism.

I asked my wife only this evening if she thought the people we will see in India must feel like zoo animals with all the Westerners poking cameras at them.
This bothers me and I don't like to feel that I am intruding – if it worked (and I could carry it!) I'd shoot with a 600mm from 100 metres away!
I have made a rule for myself that on this trip to India I have to use only my 17-35 for over 50% of my stuff so that I HAVE to get closer.

It is not rocket science. It is 70% guts, 20% knowing people and anticipating the gesture and 10% knowing your gear and being ready. Do these simple things and you will be amazed at the quality of images you will capture.<br>Thanks. Great post.
