I would say it is a matter of artistic taste. I usually prefer my Nikon M
300mm for face or head-and-shoulders shots. But it depends on the size of
your studio (if indoors), and what you have. I would not bother to buy a
new
lens with those you have already. Try the 250 and the 210 and see how you
like them. For full-length, try something shorter, like 210 and 150. You
can
try the others, too, but you will probably not like what 19th century
photographers called "the drawing."
