pete_s. Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 <p>Ahh, full body framing.<br /> Assume 7 feet high so you can have some space around the subject. We also assume a vertical composition which would be the most common scenario.</p> <p>Distance to subject using an 85mm lens on FX is 85mm / 36mm x 7ft = 16.5 ft.<br /> With a 200mm lens, 200mm / 36mm x 7ft = 38.9 ft.<br /> Distance to move: 38.9ft - 16.5ft = <strong>22.4 ft</strong>.</p> <p>Average step length being approx 31 inches according to ACM.<br /> So 22.4 ft * 12 / 31" = 8.7 steps.<br /> Since we can't take half steps the answer to the OP question is <strong>9 steps</strong>.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CvhKaar Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 <p>Hi Anurag,<br> My advice after all the previous answers and debates :<br> - Rent a 85mm F/1.4 for a day or two, either Nikon or Sigma, and <em>Try</em> if it works for you<br> play with it and se if it does what you expect from it......<br> Then decide if this is what you want..</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico_morris Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 <p>There's only one way to settle this. What you have to do is tie round your waist a really long piece of string and then walk until you're too tired to walk any more, and report back on how long it is.<br> Hope this helps.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
