[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 411146, member: 13090"] I personally wouldn't shoot people indoors at close range with a wide angle because of the distortion. The focus is going to be on a relatively smallish subject, the baby at "room distances"; using a DX body like the 3200 I'd be fine with a fast 50mm or 85mm, with my personal preference leaning toward the 85mm. Bokeh, really, is not too much of a consideration here because to get good bokeh you need more distance between the subject and background than a typical living room is going to provide. Not to get overly technical here but for good bokeh the distance from subject to background needs to be (roughly speaking) ten times what the distance between the camera and subject is. For example: If baby is 8 feet away from you, the background will need to be (roughly) 80 feet behind baby to get good bokeh. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
