[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 227124, member: 11881"] I can not speak from experience because I avoid shooting people portraits as much as I can, but I did see an interesting comparison of lenses and shooting portraits. What I saw was with shorter focal lengths the lenses tended to plump up the faces and make them more round. As the focus lengths got longer the faces thinned. Neither example was like a circus mirror, but the faces were different. For this reason I could see the benefit of shooting someone with a narrow longer face with a shorter focal length and someone with a plumper face with a longer focal length. Again, I am NOT speaking from knowledge or experience. This was a photography tutorial I watched that showed examples at different focal lengths. Others with real knowledge feel free to comment on what I posted. [/QUOTE]
