[QUOTE="aroy, post: 649104, member: 16090"] I have been shooting a lot of Marriages and other Parties with just D3300 and 35mm F1.8DX, which is more or less equivalent to 50mm F1.8 on a FX body. In general I usually get most of my shots by moving around. Let me assure you that is not really bad, as in case you are a bit away with a Zoom and forget to move you may be crowded out by other photographers, so you have to move a lot any way. As far as F1.4 lenses are concerned, they may be nice if you always shoot at F1.4, but at higher apertures the F1.8 lenses are as good if not better. So start with F1.8 50mm and then add lenses as you go along. Remember there was a time when most of us had only the 50mm on the film camera and that did not prevent great images. You can supplement the 50mm with 105mm, 28/24mm and 85mm at a later stage. [/QUOTE]
