See, and we are all different. I find for group shots indoors, the 12mm f2 is best. I almost always need the extra width.

Hmm yes... depends on the amount of people and the room of course.

However, I don't like how 12mm starts to distort faces, specially of people close to the border of the image.

Nothing dramatic, but I kinda dislike that... that's the main reason why I prefer the 17mm or 25mm for people group shots

People look more natural.
