[QUOTE="stmv, post: 795100, member: 10038"] I am feeling so old school today, as I do a trial day with the gear I am going to use at the wedding. 20mm (manual) 50mm (2.0) 75-150 (3.5) 200 F4 Two small belt bags, cargo pants, and I have the whole kit, with the 7000. Now to shoot a wedding with manual lens,, how quaint, but, I am not bringing high end lens down to this island shoot. These are easily replaced cheap lens. Of course the 20mm and 50 mm are not that cheap, but so tiny, that these will fit, and in fact, I think all 4 lens, 7000 and both 12 inch notebooks will squeeze in. I love the sharpness of the 50, 75-150 and 200, these are razor sharp lens, and wonderful damping on the focus rings. I am not actually stressed about not having auto focus during wedddngs, weddings don't move that fast, and more of just composition control, and you place yourself, and do a quick set up, and you are ready for those captures. Actually, the best part of manual, is that you don't get those accidental focuses to infinity,, I hate that, move the lens a bit, and the focus points changes, and bzzzzzz the auto lens shifts to some other place. At least with manual, the darn glass stays at the place of focus plane until you change the place. so many other lens I want to bring down to the island,, but will live with less. oh,,, will throw in the 55 2.8 micro.. got to have at least one macro with those topical flowers.
