[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 132821, member: 9240"] For portraits there seem to be people in the 85mm camp and the 105mm camp. Looking at the facial features of the center column in my post above, I would say that anything below 50mm adds unnatural distortion making it unusable as a general portrait lens. You could probably get away with a 50mm, which when compared to the 85mm produces comparatively similar looks to the girl's face. So depending on the size of your studio, a DX with a 50mm or an 85mm would work well, much like an 85mm or 105mm would be perfect for a FX camera user. Anything longer than that and you start to lose front-to-back dimensionality of the subject's head. Having a paired set of lenses would likely work best. [/QUOTE]
