Looks great but you are too close. For your birthday or Christmas I'd for
sure get a short tele for this kinda stuff.  Just get a guy with an Uzi to
back you up and carry your camera bag. You are shooting I assume with a 70
normal?
I'd for sure for your work on the backdrop get an "LEICA
APO-MACRO-SUMMARIT-S 120mm f/2.5 (CS) The perfect portrait lens" $6,995.00
usd
Optimized not for infinity which is just too darned far away.... What's out
there anyway we'd ever want to look at? Pluto?
But close. Like a meter.... Which we call a yard.  We is people who live in
NYC>
" Macro meets telephoto
The Leica APO-Macro-Summarit-S 120mm f/2.5 (CS) is a true dual-purpose lens:
firstly, it is a macro lens for close-up photography up to a reproduction
ratio of 1:2. Secondly, it is a fast portrait lens. It achieves exceptional
imaging performance and optimum contrast rendition at all apertures and
distances. The selective sharpness opens a world of creative opportunities."

Actually for tight heads like this have my armed assistant hand me my trusty
APO-ELMAR-S 180 mm f/3.5 ASPH. (CS).   $8,495.00 usd
