Lens that doesn't make faces look fat I'm using a "PANASONIC LUMIX G II Lens, 20mm, F1.7 ASPH" (MFT) lens to shoot interviews.

However, it distorts faces a bit when within 10 feet. I've read (after I bought it, unfortunately) that this lens isn't too well suited to interviews for that reason.

What would be a better fit? A wider lens would also be nice.

Any advice appreciated!
Typically recommended portrait lenses are around 85mm to 135m. These numbers refer to full frame cameras.

Since you are using a m43 camera with a crop factor of 2x you should investigate lenses from 40mm to 70mm that fit your Panasonic
