[QUOTE="aroy, post: 293347, member: 16090"] There is a good reason for shooting with primes - fast aperture and good bokeh wide open, plus a lot of sharpness. Zooms though are extremely versatile in the ever changing FOV of a wedding. Still I prefer primes and crop later. With 24MP there is enough space to crop and still get a great shot. I have found that if there is sufficient light then on a DX sensor the kit 18-55 is excellent. The 18 end corresponds to 27mm and the 55mm end to 80mm in FX world. Any thing wider will distort the perspective and unless you are looking for it, best avoided. Are you comfortable with manual focus? If so then there is quite a selection of wides to choose from. Most are available in AF, but the older manual focus AIS are still the best. . 20mm . 24mm . 28mm The 28mm AIS is one of the sharpest of Nikons wides. [/QUOTE]
