[QUOTE="hark, post: 595332, member: 13196"] This is really important. If you go with 50mm to do headshots, you might wind up with some perspective distortion of the face. In simple terms, it means the nose might appear slightly longer, the width of the face might be a little off, and other small but important distorted facial features. Although a 50mm lens on a DX body gives the same FOV (field of view) as an 85mm lens on an FX body, a 50mm lens still gives the perspective distortion of a 50mm lens no matter what body it is mounted on. If you are looking to do individual headshots or portraits, see if you have enough room to use an 85mm. If you are doing group shots, then 50mm or possibly wider [I]might[/I] work if you aren't too close to the people. [/QUOTE]
