Good afternoon fellow /p/hotographers!

After spending some time trying to shoot a model outdoors using my 50mm f1.4 lens I've come to the following conclusions:
A) I love prime lenses.
B) 50mm is way too long for torso-up fashion shots.

I am currently torn between the 40mm f2.8 and the 21mm f3.2 lenses. The 40 is shorter and more discreet, but for doing shots of models who know they're being photographed the 21 would keep me closer to the action...

What say you, /p/?
Which lens would you suggest?

Also, I'll be using these on a K10D, which has a 1.5x crop or whatever.

I think 21mm is too wide for torso-up shots. Set your kit zoom to 21mm and try it, but I think you'll get rather weird-looking perspective (unless you're specifically aiming for that).

The 40mm, on the other hand, isn't that much different from your existing 50/1.4. Maybe you should try the 31/1.8? Although I don't see the problem in doing torso-up shots with a 50mm unless you're in a very cramped space (but I've seen people do that with a 85mm on 2x crop olympus in a studio)

I just like being closer to the subject, though you're right that the 40/2.8 is probably too close to what I already have.

Now that I think about it I kind of wish I had gotten the 40/2.8 instead of the 50/1.4 - that extra closeness plus how tiny the lens is probably would have been more useful to me than the larger aperture.

The K10D and K20D use the exact same kind of batteries as the Canon EOS series cameras.

I say Canon because I also use a Canon EOS 10D, and it has identical batteries to my Pentax K10D.
