Suitable lens for wedding photography
Hi Guys! If you had only two lenses to bring to a wedding shoot what would they be and why?
What do you think are the advantags/disadvantages of using the 5D, as opposed to the 7D, in a wedding shoot? |

Re: Suitable lens for wedding photography
I agree with Colin. The 28-75 can be used to take close ups.
I would recommend bringing along a 50 1.4/1.7, or some other wide aperture lense < f/2.8, for shallow DOF. Your best shot for the event would most likely come from such a lense and not the 17-35 or the 28-75. Provided you have time to use it. |

Re: Suitable lens for wedding photography
I don't see any diff using either 5D or 7D. performance from both cams are the same.

Re: Suitable lens for wedding photography
Just shoot a wedding yesterday...
Here is what I use... Sigma 15-30 f3.5-4.5 Minolta 50mm f1.4 Minolta 80-200 f2.8 APO G HS. Of course with 5600HS flash... I love the HSS function which I can push the flash to 1/1500sec @ f5.6 to balance with the ambient light. However, I need to be quite close to the subject... Anyway... good luck... Hart |

Hahh.....i was surprised.....its really usable...- comparing to the EOS 1D setup the official photog was using.....hahah...mine's a pea.. Anyway...I'm happy that the photos from afar look okay too.. Lens recommended for wedding...  Tv: 1/20sec Av: f4 rgds, sulhan Last edited by sulhan; 27th November 2005 at 11:14 PM. |

Re: Suitable lens for wedding photography
I would like to share some examples of how I use the lenses I suggested.
Closes up with 28-75.  Big aperture lenses to play with shallow DOF.  And 17-35 for everything else.  Last edited by UY79; 27th November 2005 at 11:52 PM. |
