[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 59978, member: 3903"] When I started shooting weddings around 1968, zoom lenses just weren't there. I started as a second shooter with a Yashica Mat 124, then got the Hasselblad with the 80 and 150. The iso, which by the way was then called ASA, was 100. We had to use flash for most shots and there was simply no time for flash meter. So, one really had to get used to gauge distances and their flash unit. Of course we were using negative film that gave a little more leeway. Oh, and we had to wait to see results. The first studio I was working for always had me shoot a few pictures on the B&W back I had. After the wedding, I had to run to the studio to process and print the B&W so the sales lady went back to the reception to try to make sales of the group shot and the official groom and bride portrait. That made for a lot of work. Two weddings a week were then about the norm for me, but, people were getting married then. [/QUOTE]
