5D - 5D3 combo: which lens on which?


Wow, different opinions. I suppose I will try to improve technique first with 5Dc+85L, because I really like the SD card backup for most of the shots. If that works out to a reliable keeper rate where I know I have the shot, that\'s the way I will go.

So:
Ceremony: 5D3+35L + 5Dc+85L / 5Dc+70-200
Rest: Same or switch lenses

If I can\'t manage the 5Dc+85L combo:
Ceremony: 5Dclassic+35L / 5D3+50L/85L / 70-200/2.8mkII on whichever body I don\'t use at the time
Prep, portraits and dinner/party: 5D3+35L / 85L / 50L (if I buy that lens) / 5Dclassic+70-200/2.8mkII

Maybe if I get the 50L it might become my most used lens, who knows. Then the situation will be entirely different. For the rest, I\'ll just play it by ear.

Thank you all for your thoughts.

If that works out to a reliable keeper rate where I know I have the shot, that\'s the way I will go. If not, I will continue to shoot the 35L on my 5Dclassic. I don\'t use so many different lenses, the 35L is my main that I use for 80%, like I said. I suppose the only setting where I really don\'t have time to change lenses on the same body is the ceremony. For the other series I might just use the 5D3 exclusively with 35L, 85L and maybe 50L. The 5Dclassic then can take the 70-200mkII whenever I need it (won\'t be much).

To be more precise:
For prep, portraits and dinner/party:
5D3+35L
5D3+85L
5D3+50L (if I buy that lens)
5Dclassic+70-200/2.8mkII

For ceremony:
5Dclassic+35L
5D3+50L/85L
70-200/2.8mkII on whichever body I don\'t use at the time

Maybe if I get the 50L it might become my most used lens, who knows. Then the situation will be entirely different.

For the rest, I\'ll just play it by ear.
