Hi all,
In a few months (in the summer) I'll be shooting a friend's
wedding. (Yeap, I've read de "amateur wedding photographer FAQ", and I
still said yes, I actually enjoy it ;-)
I did the same last year for some family (2x) and then, the deal was
"just cover the costs". As I'm not getting paid (good insurance in case
of something going wrong) I use to try thing on the 'victim's'
expenses. Just few rolls of some exotic film, lithium batteries...
Things that I use *anyway* for their own good (and I gain the
experience :-) ;-)
For this upcoming event I was thinking of renting a 'white' lens
(70-200f2.8 L). Not having/used one before I thought it could be nice to
play with it while they will get (!?) better shots.
REAAALLY!?
Here is where my question comes up... Without *no* experience with a
certain equipment I'm sure I won't be able to take the best of it. Quick
handling only comes with experience, specially true with these heavy
lenses. On the other hand I've: better faster glas, sharper pictures
(not without good handling!), blurry backgrounds and me falling in love
with the whity thing (:-)
The 3rd axis is that THIS is a good chance to try it. Specially since
the rent price here (in Belgium) is quite high and I'm normally not able
to pay it. This said, the option "rent it before to have some
experience" is banned. (unless some other victim appears before that,
of course ;-) ;-)
I'd like to hear your thoughts about this subject.
Greetings,
Gerard.
BTW: my kit (50E, 28-135IS, 70-300IS, 100 Macro USM, 50f1.8, 380EX)
