Re: It is a wrong FL for this shot!

I had similar frames somewhere from Sigma 150/2.8 (on larger formats), where sitting persons would have their legs extended forward - nothing ever came out more bizarre. The distance compression and flattening was simply way too much for such shots. It is fine when you photograph faces only, or standing people, but not with the legs or arms extended forward. For this frame, 50mm, or 25mm in your case, would have been ideal.

I agree the 75/1.8 might not be the best for full body shots. However, I think the photo came out pretty nice.

I shoot sessions with my Fuji system, and was shooting with the 35/1.4, but wanted to see how the 75/1.8 did.
