Recommended lenses for outdoor wedding shot

[spawninc]

what are the recommended lenses for outdoor wedding shot and WHY? I know this is very subjective, but i would like to hear from u guyz, based on your experience. thanks

Good ol 28-70. f2.8 L does the trick for me. Why? Quality is good, bokeh is nice, within nice flash distance. However, do bring your 17-40 L cause somehow even outdoors, the corners may be tight. Prime lens may not be that useful in weddings.

15mm fisheye is great cos got fisheye effect
20mm is great is great cos got sweeping landscape
24mm is great is great cos got beautiful background and you want to stand 50cm from them
35mm is great cos got nice perspective
50mm is great cos its cheap and does the job well
85mm is great cos got fantistic bokeh
100mm is great cos got great isolation techniques
135mm is great cos either got soft focus and great bokeh
200mm is great cos got the blur in the background look
300mm is great cos got the super blur in the background look


in short everything also good, how you want to use it is the point.

70-200IS is great because of its optical properties, bokeh and IS for tele handheld and panning/zooming.

actually, if its outdoors, can add 400 500 and 600mm to that too...

thanks guyz for the advice, and thanks gilbert for the list. but i m not that 'prime' person in fact

put the tele lens aside. if the choice narrow down to 17-40, 24-70, which one is more prefer? i remember i bring 3 but end up i used 17-40 the most. maybe because i enjoyed the shot with a widen background.

so you answered your own question, no one can tell you what to eat for tomorrow's lunch, its all personal choices. Your own choices, do not let someone who loves chicken rice fool you if you are a yong tou fu person. goodnight!
