Favourite Lens for Weddings

radura · 16th December 2006

Hi All,

Just wanted to get a feel from all you professional / semi-professional / amateur-want-to-be-professional / newbie photographers who at some point in time did do a wedding photography for money / frendship / etc... What is your fav lens and most used lens during the event (night and/or day)?

i sold my 18-200vr and bought a 17-55mm f/2.8

versatile · 16th December 2006

no doubts, 17-55mm IS f2.8

haffendy · 16th December 2006

How abt Tamron 17-50 f2.8? Is it good for wedding?

CYRN · 16th December 2006

24-105 in a FF cam.

Or 35 f1.4 + 50 f1.2 + 85 f1.2.

~Arcanic~ · 17th December 2006

17-40 F4...

Love_sky · 17th December 2006

THis setup sounds very very familiar...

wanzw · 17th December 2006

17-55, and if have the money to burn, 35 1.4 or a 85 1.2 to chiong bokeh

Witness · 17th December 2006

17-55 for me...the range is really useful....

Virgo · 17th December 2006

17-40 f/4 L. No doubt about that. With this lens, I can obtain sharp pictures even at 1/8 sec without flash, because of the focal length and handling.

Belle&Sebastain · 17th December 2006

24m,85mm,135mm

KNIGHT ONG · 17th December 2006

17-35mmf/2.8 ..

airforce1 · 17th December 2006

17-55mm the best for wedding. Relax and shoot.

drumma · 17th December 2006

fave and most used, 35L. sweet baby!!

radura · 18th December 2006

Hmm... sounds like primes are greatly favoured for the weddings... however, might be hard to get some shots due to the restriction in zoom...

Btw, been noticing some mixed reviews of the 17-55dx on the various sites... questioning whether it is worth the price when the increase in quality does not commensurate linearly. Anyway, been using the d80 kit lens for shooting and just wanted to get a feel of how significant would the quality vary between the two. Any bad experiences with this lens? Sample variations?
