A much longer focal length lens is needed for a truly flattering portrait. When doing portraiture and working with DX format cameras, just looking at the comparative focal length (to FX) is not necessarily enough, the actual focal length of the lens needs to be one where the perspective distortion is minimized. I would use a lens of at least 75mm or so.Of course, you can use a very wide angle, in this case a 16mm full frame fisheye, to have some fun with perspective too! Lynnsey's nose was about 6 inches from the front element in this one. <img src="http://scottmurphyphotography.org/images/lynnsey.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
