<p>Thanks D.B.<br>

If I do end up getting a zoom lens so that I can shoot at 85mm, could I get away with a lens that f3.5 or even f4? Or should it at least be f2.8?</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>I'm very much a beginner and would like to start shooting my friends' headshots. I have a Nikon D200 and two lenses. The first is a prime AF micro Nikkor 60mm 2.8 D. The second lens is an AF-S Nikkor 17-55mm 2.8 G ED DX. Which one of these would work best for shooting headshots?<br>

Or should I buy another lens? I've read many forums where some use a 70-200mm lens for a more shallow depth of field. I guess the problem with my lenses, is that the subject might look distorted. Does this sound correct?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,<br /> David</p>
