[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 31680, member: 1746"] I have made a few bad choices when it comes to glass so for actual lens I can't offer any advice I feel comfortable with. But I would like to point out if I was going to recommend a piece of glass it would be fast glass. If you look at Essence list they all are fast glass, some very good choices. There is not one lens in his list I would not want to have in my bag for anything I was out shooting. I have learned that most Pro photographers use nothing but fast glass, and do not use anything above 200mm in fast glass. I have never shot a wedding, but if I was going to shoot one I'd shoot it with fast glass with the following lenses: (Nikon, or second party is your choice) 17-50mm 2.8 35mm 1.8 70-200mm 2.8 I can tell you from experience you're not going to find one lens to put on your camera and do it all, you're going to be doing lens changes; there is no way around it. As for flash lighting, this site comes highly recommended by another member of Nikonites: [URL="http://strobist.blogspot.com/"]Strobist[/URL] A good point to start would be: [URL="http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/03/lighting-101.html"]Strobist: Lighting 101[/URL] Above all, practice, practice, practice. You only get one shot when doing a wedding, so on that day you have to be on your best, and not second guessing your settings or lens choice. [/QUOTE]
