One time I was asked to take some portraits of someone and I accidentally
grabbed my 200mm lens instead of the 90mm which I had intended. It was very
hard to work with the increased camera-subject distance. Also, the
increased focal length makes the background bigger even though it was
out-of-focus. Long story short, the results sucked.
Also, be careful with using macro lenses for portraits. I took some
portraits with one once and every pore in the skin showed up perfectly.
With portraits, there's such a thing as too sharp.
