best lens for passport headshot?

Because it doesn't matter....it's a passport photo.

Take it with a DSLR, phone, kodak point and shoot...no one is going to know the difference, especially between the 100 macro, 135L or 70-200 - regardless of format.

Read the OP:

Now either, start having fun, enjoy the discussion that's going on, or GTFO.

What ever the lens du jour at Wal Mart.

Well, that escalated quickly. Enjoy.

I'd say the 135 2.8 - with SF on.

any will work fine.

okay, all in the name of fun :

shouldn't 70-200 @ 200mm give a most pleasant face shape compared to 135 or 100L?

TBH, i don't see much of a difference from 100mm onwards. e.g. comparing 100mm vs 350mm, maybe the nose appears a tad slimmer? who else can see a difference?

Whatever lens Polaroids come with...

I did my wife's with a 50mm f/1.4. The shot needed to be fairly wide for her country's requirements.

its a passport photo lol. you can use a phone camera if you wanted haha. just have to meet the requirements set to make the headshot usable

I expected a punchline by now.
OK, I'll play.
Any of below lenses:
Pinhole
Lensbaby
EF 1200 5.6
Samyang 8mm.

Nothing else will work.

Personally I think you should go with the MP-E 65mm macro.

updated the first post to discuss about perspective/distortion​!

I felt bad for the Sigma getting so few votes, so I voted for it! Hope this helps.
