some basic experience re group photos
1

P.S. a 25 is not the most ideal FL for large group photos you have to backup quite a bit...

My rule of thumb for ordinary social settings, where you are taking photos of people facing you at a "normal" distance:

45mm will do 1 person well

25mm will do 2-3 people well

20mm will do 4-8 well  - my favorite

12mm will do 20 well
