That is, when shooting full lenght (such as Cherry's latest maxim girl photos), what lenght do you normally use? I know this is a vague question. I know it will depend on the background and what you want to do with it. And the are practical concerns too. In some cases you can't use a long lens because of some obstruction, like a wall or something. I did a cheesey test this morning taking three shots at a pair of trees with brushy woods in the background. I shot at 100, 135, and 200mm @ f/2.8. Then, my battery played out. But, the longest shot had the best blur or bokeh. and compression, as expected. But I was deliberately trying to blur the bg. So, I guess, do you select a lenght based on the compression you wish to obtain? Is there any one who uses anything longer than 200mm?
