Originally posted by SpotmaticGuy I was thinking along the lines of 90mm - 105mm or so, but I have some concerns about the depth of field with such focal lengths.
Too many people still believe that depth of field varies according to the focal length. It is false! Period.
Depth of field varies according to enlargement (and according to aperture value, and circle of confusion, the latter being fonction of the sensor dimensions).
At a given enlargement, e.g., 1:1, you will get the same DOF with a 24mm, with a 50mm, with a 100mm, with a 180mm, etc.
24mm
50mm
105mm
200mm
300mm
Same enlargement, same DOF, different bokeh.
However, as the bokeh and the geometric distorsion will vary according to the focal length, a lens between 50mm and 100mm will generally be the best choice if you use an aps-c sensor.
