Which focal, which lens for VERY LARGE GROUP PHOTOS?

Hello,

Which focal, which lens for VERY LARGE GROUP PHOTOS?

By VERY LARGE, I mean up to 300 or even 400 if not 500 people.

Here in France, we have very large family reunions and weddings can reach these numbers too.

As a result, you have to be able to fill everybody in multiple rows obviously but also on a maybe 20m or 30m front.

  • Which focal is right in your experience? 
  • Which focal is TOO WIDE and will DISTORT corners and sides of the image (so distort people on the sides of the image)
  • Examples of lenses? Zoom or Prime?

Thanks in advance, kind regards

Gaul
