[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 244615, member: 14443"] you should get from 17-200. youre fine till the 35mm on wide. then you have a 50 and 85 and then the 80-400 to continue. the middle is the chunk thats missing. or not IMO. dont forget the primes jump from 35 to 50 then 85 then 105 and the 105 is covered from the 80-400. I think youre gear is fine. you have the 16-35 on one camera and have the 50/85 on the other or on you at all times. mostly have the 50 and when you need to do some portraits, take the few seconds and switch to the 85mm and do those and switch back. the 80-400 is just fine if you need to snipe from far away but the flash indoors can only go so far so if youre far away then you might miss it from blur and the flash not getting there. with the 85 you can shoot amazing stuff. I dont think youre missing anything. I would be happy shooting a wedding with what you have. if youre stressed carry the 50 with you and have both cameras with a 16-35 on one and the other with the 80-400. my friend shoots with the 70-200 and 17-35 AFS at the ceremony. I have the 70-200 and 28-70 and I have in my pouches a 17-35 and a fisheye and switch when I need for a shot or two.
