In my novice photog experience - taking group photos with a wide aperture always screws me with blurry people on the ends? Obviously I love a wide aperture for low light but won't it screw me on getting group photos, or is there something I'm missing!

also thanks everyone for all this advice

wait, the aperture is not fixed, you can always close it up, right? or, am I misunderstanding you?

I took this group photo with the 50-140/2.8, but I closed the aperture to f/6.4. It's a posed shot, so I can slow down SS to make up for the loss of light due to smaller aperture.

EDIT: nevermind, I realized you meant wide-angle
