Did they really recommend a 20mm pancake for portraits?

wow lots of comments saying the video is so wrong. They must be ALL PROs . It even makes me wonder why they even bother to click the video to watch "How to Take Great Portrait Photos"

@hocly22 I think that even 40mm is a bit short for a good portrait lens. I would usually consider 50mm at normal crop factor to be the lower limit, and anything up to 100mm as a good portrait lens focal length.

@Shamandalie97 20mm ol lumix is 40mm 1.7 on full frame

hmmm... ISO 400? That sounds good enough.
For all of you who's crying about why anyone would chose to use a 20mm for portrait shooting then let me try to clarify. The camera he's using is a Micro Four Third camera which basically means the sensor size is smaller. But this also means that the images will be cropped too compared to a full frame. So a focal length of 20mm on this camera equates to something around 40mm on full frame <-- this falls into the ideal portrait focal length range. And due to this, the lens should not distort.

@gajetjoe Its not the camera who takes the pictures but the Photographer makes the difference!
Even wen you have a hasselblad camera, and you dont understand noting about making pictures.
is the same result wen you are driving a F1 car, but you dont have even a normaal driver license.
