[QUOTE="rocketman122, post: 230948, member: 14443"] Scott- Careful with getting people in the corners. it pulls and warps them. they look horribly out of perspective. but its a problem because I need it for the crowded dance floor but otoh it makes them look so distorted. kind of a catch 22. if you have the space leave it on the side. you can most certainly use the 16-35 on the dance floor, just use it from the 24is and up. get the 50 on the other camera just in case u need to shoot 2-4 people. at 35mm/half body horizontally shot will leave a lot of empty space on the sides. so take 1 step back, swing your 50 up from your side and shoot it. its much more pleasing perspective wise. although sometimes, depending on the scenerio the extra space gives detail about the place/atmosphere. but dont even try shooting people vertically with the 35. uh uh, not pleasing. like I said before, you can get away with the 50 on one camera and the 16-35 on the other and have the 85 or 80-400 on you for isolating people. and youre set. and like I said, invest in ttl slaves. it opens up a huge door for creativity. the flash optic slave for CLS can only do so much. Glenn- the 16-35 focal length is fine, but the f/4 is too slow for my taste.
