I've not had a problem keeping children in the frame with an 85mm, and it also gives you more working room so you're not right up close, so they are more relaxed. Also use the 85mm indoors - certainly not for full body shots, but great for head and shoulders shots. | |

But yes, 35, 50, 85, 100, 135+... all can be used and are use for portraits. They all have their place. | |
