I would entertain the idea of purchasing/swapping some of the lenses in my lineup. I shoot weddings only about 1-2x/ year. The rest of the year, I shoot about anything and everything as a hobby. Money isn't abundant, but it isn't tight either. Thoughts?
In a previous wedding I did rent the 24-70 and 70-200 2.8 IS and wasn't terribly impressed. I was thinking about the 85 L because I've been wanting to check that bad boy out. Never thought of the 24L though, thanks for mentioning it
Alright, so I reserved the 17-55 and the 70-200 2.8 IS, but I am debating getting the 85L instead. I really only want to rent 2 lenses. Would it be wise to get the 17-55 and the 85L?
It is a very small indoor wedding with poor lighting. The reception is at a restaurant with poor lighting as well. Outdoor group photos should have good light as long as the weather is good.
on a crop body like that, i'd suggest 24L-you've got the 50 f/1.4, which covers short tele-the 17-55 is a good idea as well if you want to go wider-if you're more of a natural light shooter, i'd say 24L-if not or if you prefer zooms, 17-55
the 70-200 f/4 is pretty slow-i'd look at upgrading that or at least renting the 2.8 IS-if money's an issue, a used 85 1.8 is pretty reasonable an a crop equivalent of 135 (close anyways)-optics are great with that lens, esp. for the price
