[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 323924, member: 12496"] You better take the 18mm lens. And you will need some space, both width and depth, more than you may think. I don't know your plans, but 60 people could be four rows of 15. 15 people are probably 30 feet wide. You will want the people on staggered steps or bleachers. Take a step ladder to get the camera up high. The 18-140mm is a DX lens, so I assume DX. The horizontal field of view of a DX 18 mm lens is 67 degrees. (60 degrees is an equilateral triangle). From 20 feet back, that width of field of view is only 26 feet. You can measure these things in advance in your back yard. The 70mm lens seems totally out of the question (less than 7 feet wide at 20 feet). [/QUOTE]
