Lenses and Larger Groups
What type of lense should you use when taking portaits of a larger group of say 16 people? Will a regular zoom lens work or should you buy a wide angle lens?

It really depends on a couple things primarily. 1) How far back can you get from the subject?
2) What lighting? Indoors or out? The main objective in a group photo is to be able to see everyone clearly.
Backing up further is usually not the answer.
A 28mm or so will usually do the trick..get as close as you can..level the camera..shoot at eye level or slightly higher. I would need more info to answer more specifically. Pete
