[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 294187, member: 12855"] So here's my potential new predicament- a friend of mine told me that a couple she was referred to as a dancer for their last-minute-planned wedding is looking for a photographer and referred me despite my general lack of experience in this particular field. I talked with the groom and told him that I don't have specifically wedding experience, but shot plenty of people and events; told him to look over my page to get an idea of my ability and to email me their itinerary if they want a rate if they'd consider hiring me. Everything is honest and up front. Now, IF and only IF they agree, my dilemma comes that I lack monster-bokeh and low light lenses for my 600 aside from the 35/1.8G. I could muster using it in FX mode and deal w/ VG removal / shoot in DX mode but be glued to 50mm length, but this feels a tad too limiting considering the size of the job. So, should I scurry and get a 50/1.8G and hope using it will be able to do it for 70% of the day; buy or maybe just rent the 85/1.8 (1.4 if rent); or perhaps rent a 2.8 short zoom to have enough flexibility and enough bokeh?
