[QUOTE="warriormom, post: 63230, member: 8025"] first of all, am i the only one who likes and/or uses an 18-55mm? i bought my d90 body only. my first lens was the 18-55 that came as the kit lens for my cousin's d80. she never used it so she passed it on to me. i love this lens for its versatility and the ability to get SUPER close to things (flowers and such) and it is the lens i keep on more than any other. so here i am in the throes of trying to gear up (pun not so much intended, but i'll take it anyway) for this wedding in march-- watching tutorials, looking at pros' shots, seeking advice here and there and just generally trying to prepare myself to shoot this wedding. k, so... i have a 55-200. i think that might be good enough and i won't need to get the 70-300 (even though i want it someday...). and i am thinking this because i am thinking i probably want to instead get a 35mm prime (1.8 is the best i can afford, sadly). i have a 50mm (1.8 also) which i love, but i don't think it will give me much breathing room, say for the pre-wedding, getting ready type shots. and since we are on the subject of that 50mm--i got it used. it doesn't seem to focus as smoothly as say, my 18-55. i think this might be normal, since my larger lenses have the built in motor. it just kind of feels a little 'rough'er than those other lenses. is that normal? i don't want to burn out the af motor in my camera.... anyway, back to the wedding--isn't a 35mm something you pretty much want to have for shooting in a small area, like the room the bride and maids will be getting ready in? if not that, then what? thanks again, y'all [/QUOTE]
