[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 351250, member: 9252"] Out of your current selection, I think the 50mm will be the best as it's good in low light (In door wedding, with a night doo?) and a decent focal length... The bit I wonder abound is the "Candid" side of your requirement... That would suggest using a longer length, but I'm not sure the 55-200mm would be up to scratch in low light. I'd avoid wide angle - Groups of people will get distorted if you go wide, the 18-55mm would be as wide as I'd go. Maybe use the money to hire a fast zoom for the "across-the-room-candid" side of things, the 50mm for personal portraits and the 18-55mm for group shots? Then spare batteries, SD cards etc.... ETA - I just thought, if low light isn't a big issue, the 18-105mm would cover most of what you need at a decent price and save a lot of lens swapping........ [/QUOTE]
