30D and which lens for Photo ID

[PerfectSpeed]

I have a 50mm f/1.8II, 17-55mm f/2.8IS and a 70-200mm f/4, so far with all the lenes the photos are looking stretched, I am printing with an HITI S420, anybody have any ideas

Thanks.

what size photo are you printing, could it be that the software/printer is streching the image to fit the print size? ie camera photos are 3:2 aspect ratio and the printer wants to print at 4:3 it way be stretching the image to fit??

Hi Philip

Here in France the ID photos are 35X45mm, I'm printing 4 photos plus my logo on a 6X4in sheet, the picture sizes are spot on, just stretched, I never thought about the aspect ratio on the printer something I will ask the company about tomorrow.

I would have thought it would have the same aspect ratio as a camera??

Many thanks.

Well 35x45 isn't 3:2 ratio so some cropping should be happening. Which way is the image being stretched? Width ways or top to bottom?
