85mm on a crop for group pics? seems strange to me

Even on FF, I don't see an 85mm as a go to lens....

If you have the space to frame everyone, why not? You get more compression in the background and as long as you pose everyone correctly DOF shouldn't be much of an issue, if it is, stop the lens down a bit...

Well that's true, its just not my first choice and also means you have to lens swap...
