Now I understand.
But keep in mind that even on full frame film, 80 is around the ideal length for portraits. I don't see why you want to go to 135 or above for facials, let alone full body stuff, especially taking into account the different FOV on our sensors.
I never did it professionally but studied it way back when, and I have no idea the lenses that the pros are using now, but there's someone here who posts infrequently--from France--whose work is astounding. If someone can chime in and link to some of his posts/work, he could lend some great advice.
