Does anyone know how are you have to be from a person to shoot 85mm and get the whole body in the shot?
85mm F1.4

On an FX Cam, if the person is about 1.80m high and you shot right-angeled to the person I guess it's about 3,5m
correct me if I am wrong

On an DX Cam about 5 meters ...

Welcome to the forum, both of you. I get this for a person with 1.8m height:
FX portrait (image height 36mm): 4.2m
FX landscape and DX portrait (image height 24mm): 6.3m
DX landscape (image height 16mm): 9.5mI was using something that will be pretty close for everything except for macro work:
sensor to object distance = focal length * (object height / image height)If anyone wants to do it more carefully, you can use
1/f = 1/p +1/q
and
image height/object height = -q/p
where q = lens to object distance, p = lens to sensor distance, and f = focal lengthPosted 3 years ago # -
or just wing it!

Kamerad, 12 ft would be where they would fill the frame edge to edge for FX, so you'd probably want to back up a bit from there. Shivas is right; you should probably just plan on walking a little closer/further away until you get the framing you want. But let's pretend you were trying to figure out if you'd have enough space in a place you were planning a photo shoot.

LOL, hardly - and you know, this is why I had a tough time getting my PhD when sometimes I would JUST wing it!
I'm a geneticist who ended up in pharma, where the winging it opportunity has some advantages. . . .
