[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 595350, member: 13090"] I think it depends a great deal what you mean, exactly, by indoor portraits. If you mean [I]formal sittings and posed portraiture of the head and shoulders[/I] then I would amplify all the previous comments about NOT choosing a 35, or 50mm prime for this type of shooting. As has already been pointed out there is simply too much facial distortion at the distances you need to be shooting at for head-shots/head and neck portraits using either of those focal lengths. Consider instead the 85mm. For me, on a DX body, that's the bare minimum focal length I find acceptable for head-shots. Now, for general purpose indoor photography using a DX body, I really like the 35mm. [/QUOTE]
