Actually, the 21/2.0 is great for group pictures... not only do you not have
to step back, you don't even have to stand up! I think either a 28/2.0 or a
35/2.0 would be the best for indoors group shots (without flash). If you use
a flash then you have to make sure the coverage is there, and the 21 is a
bit wide for most flash coverages...
