[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 595817, member: 26505"] Everybody has their own preferences for their own shooting style and environment. Me? I tend to experiment to find what I like. The knowledge is necessary too, but there is nothing like hands-on experimentation to really understand. I would do as [USER=16844]@Lawrence[/USER] suggests. Use the kit lens at different lengths indoors. Also, use the zoom inside where you plan on taking portraits, zoom until you like what you see and then and then look to see where you landed. Set-up an experimental portrait session with a kid, Halloween prop or whatever and then use different focal lengths to see what meets your needs. That way you can see for yourself if you don't have the room, there is too much wasted space in the shot, etc. We all know you will end up with more than one lens after a while soooooo, decide on the indoor lens based on what you find you are doing since that is your priority. Still can't decide? Post a few pics at each focal length with some information about what you are trying to accomplish. The experienced people here can make some further suggestions based on what they see. Good luck and welcome to the forum. [/QUOTE]
