Simple answer is no, but I can see no reason why you couldn't, I would be careful of your DoF though as if you have to shallower DoF one row of players assuming you went for traditional two lines set up may end up soft so you will likely was an aperture of say f/8-9 and for this reason you maybe better off with a short zoom say 17-55 or similar

I would say from my limited experience of team shots:

• Look at the background
• Watch out for nice grass i.e. No grassless patches
• Lookout for rubbish
• Get players well positioned
• Position of the sun
and finally
• Take a few shots as you always get some smart ass pulling a face or blinking for at least one shot

I'm sure others will be along soon with some more experience than me...

Thank's Matthew, I had to step back a good few yards and as I did I was getting all the other photographers in shot.

Not a good lens for a team photo:thumbsdown:
