Family Portrait Lens Choice HELP!

oh man. I say bring all the focal range you can but try to avoid the wide angle. Tele will be more faltering.

His question was about shooting in tight spaces, yet everyone keeps saying "go longer"...you guys sound like my wife. When I'm cornered I want it short and fast...

I'm 100% convinced that no one here can argue the fact that a 24-70 f2.8L and a 70-200 F2.8 USM won't give you 99% of the best coverage possible in ANY situation, on ANY body. Wide is fun, but not for standard portraiture. the 24mm at about 28mm takes an amazing photo with very little distortion.

Thank you guys!
Yeas I own the 24-70 2.8 and I'm hoping I will have enough room, if not I will prob just do half bodies
Or I guess I will figure something out.
Thanks a lot to you all

Yes 24-70 2.8 is good to capture Family Portraits

Thank you guys...I used the 24-70 2.8. I had to walk out of the door to shoot but they turned out very good

Could you post a sample?? I'm going to be attempting the same shots here at the wife's family X-Mas. Hoping to buy the 24-70 in the next couple of months.
