For anyone out there that does any group soots. Tommorrow I have to take a team photo for a poster. The team will be on a Fire Truck (Ladder type). I'm using a tri-pod and the quick realease but I'm really lost on which lens to choose. It will be late afternoon so the light hopefully will be good. I'm shooting with a Canon 20D and these are the lens I have: Canon EF70-200mm,f2.8L (this is what I use to shoot hockey-great for that),Canon EF-S 17-85 IS USM (this came with my camera). Tameron 20-75 f2.8 ll (the lens I used for hockey before I got my longer lens). Any opinions? My biggest concern is I have a large area (They want me to use the side of the truck) to get in and I want it as sharp as possible.
Any help would be appreciated.

How did this go? What lens did you end up using? I would have suggest the wide angle if you were looking to get a wide space in your photo.

The shoot went well. I ended up using the Tameron 70-75 f/2.8 lens. It was almost raining so the I needed the faster lens. I also put it on mirror lock and used a quick release. I did a lot of reading that day and it paid off. A wide angle would have bee nice but I don't have one yet.

Well you're 20 probably worked pretty well as a wide angle.

Oh wait you said you have an 18-75 did you use that or the 20-75 on here you said you used a 70-75 but I'm guessing that's a typo. An 18mm lens is pretty good for wide angle.
