Even with the advent of the super high ISO DSLR cameras. For anything in the 35-75 range all you need is to take a step forwards or backwards! Super wide and super telephoto are a different matter though. I use a 24mm 1.4 and a 50mm 1.4 a LOT for my weddings. Even with the advent of the super high ISO DSLR cameras.

I have been shooting weddings for just over 12 months now and while new to this and still developing a style I have to say that my lens choice is really shaping that style. Although I own a 24-70 2.8 and a 17-35 zoom, I am finding more and more I just want to leave them in my bag as I get better results with my 35mm F2. Hands down my favorite lens as it pushes me to be more creative and move more freely. That said I do feel a little uncomfortable to use it at first as I feel clients want to see big cameras mounted with flash and telephoto lens as this shouts Professional in their minds... but as we all know, thats not necessarily the case. Great work. thanks for posting your thoughts.

I still need a zoom of some sort but I think a 50mm is next on my list followed by a 24 and that's my full range then. Great post Philip.
