OK, I was thrown by your use of all caps!

lol. Windmillgolfer didn't write that.

What I meant is better shown here, and probably the right word is "natural" but the original OP of the thread claimed that the 42.5 made them look heavier. Unfortunately, the 42.5 is going to provide a far more accurate (or natural) portrait than a wide angle (which invites perspective distortion if you are doing e.g. a headshot) or a long telephoto (which can overly flatten an image).
