Minimal please. Cropping could present problems.

Sure is... except of course when it isn't!

What I mean of course, is that *optically* 50mm is always 50mm, but how we perceive it greatly depends on the format. For a P&S 50mm is a moderately long telephoto. For MF it's a moderately wide angle.

Would it be possible to do advanced with a special rule banning crop? ..or would that be impossible to enforce?

I'd think this would be a good challenge. Push yourself to take a shot with a 50mm prime. Minimal editing makes it even better as you now have to really think before you shoot.

We are the lizard king, we can do anything. (Any Doors fans in here?)

I don't have a 50mm prime though, so....I can try to zoom to 50mm...I guess?


Can you borrow one?

I actually really like this idea. We have constrained ourselves in challenges to particular techniques or even shooting with our eyes closed, but we have never yet been constrained to a particular focal length.
Should be fun!

My suggestion can mean anything you want it to mean.
