[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 223994, member: 3903"] I would use the D600 in Quiet mode. As far as lenses, I don't understand people that say you <must> use a zoom. Weddings are not that hard to cover as long as you know what to prepare for. Pre-wedding, you'll want to go to the bride's house to get shots with her parents, then when she gets to the church, the groom waiting for the bride with his parents, bride walking down the aisle with her father, then the ceremony. I think there is plenty of time to change lens and get ready for the next episode if you allow me the term. It's always good to find out "before" what will be allowed and discussing it with the couple so they ask the minister/priest in advance. If you are stuck to one position and no flash is allowed, then you use your zoom lens and get the iso up so you get the shots. There is no point IMHO to shoot 200 pics inside the church, just get the key moments and a few candids. After the ceremony, get the couple together without the crowd to get more intimate shots and then some with parents. Then the reception where you are free to roam with the flash. I used to do weddings with a Pentax 6x7 with 3 lenses and a hand held flash, so have no fear but be ready. Good luck and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
