[QUOTE="Samo, post: 595373, member: 42955"] [url]http://www.mcpactions.com/blog/2010/07/21/the-ideal-focal-length-for-portraiture-a-photographers-experiment/[/url] One more time. On a crop camera you must translate focal length to effective fov. Perspective only changes due to distance to subject. FX. Environmental portrait 35 is good. 50 good for full body and group. 85 good for half body. 105 good for head and shoulder. Same as above on DX if you want to stand further back otherwise it would be DX = 18 for environment. 35 full body. 50 half body. 60 or 85 for head shot. Also consider this..shoot at child with a 35 or 50 on DX with subject centered then crop to frame. At this point OP is probably thoroughly confused. My apologies for my part but I find the information provided by some to be at least misleading if not entirely wrong. [/QUOTE]
