[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 63239, member: 6548"] 35 in DX is equal to to 52.5 so it is like a standard FL. Now I am no pro and the only wedding stuff I have done was done more as a spectator than a photog but I have been told long ago that if you are going to shoot weddings the one indispensable lens to have is a fast fifty (or 35 in the case of DX). Now I know from real world experience that with my DX camera shooting in a room that I have to use my 28. 35 is not that much more so it will probably work. Looking at your kit I think I would use the 18-55 and the 55-200. Or the other option is to use the 35 and get you a 85 if you were going with primes. AND the ideal thing would be to have two cameras. Last wedding I went to the "photographer's" camera went bust and she ended up borrowing my sister in laws camera and erased her card without asking so she could fill it up with wedding pics...p!ssed off said sister in law something fierce! What about the guest book and the rings and the detail shots? You will need some type of macro shooting lens or a close up filter or a reversal ring or something but remember you are going to be around sand so you probably don't want to fiddle around with changing stuff. When and if I do a wedding in the future I will use my standard kit which is a 24 or 28, a 85, and the 105 plus one DSLR and my F2. I can get the detail shots, the crowd, and the group portraits with the wide angles, the full body and half body portraits with the 85, and the head and shoulder shots with the 105. [/QUOTE]
