Im shooting a family reunion in Chicago next weekend and desperately need a prime lens for my Canon 90D. Budget is $350 max. I read the 50mm f1.8 is a must-have but people online keep saying it's too tight on a crop body and I should get a 24mm or 35mm instead. Which one actually works best for outdoor portraits?

Honestly I have been super happy with the Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM on my 90D. It works well for those bigger group shots at reunions. The 50mm is nice for background blur but youll struggle to fit everyone in the frame outdoors.
- Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM for groups
- Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM for solo headshots The 24mm pancake is a steal, go with that.
