You haven't said whether you are using digital or not - might have some bearing. I shoot weddings fairly often. I used to use a Tamron 28-75/2.8, which was quite nice. It took a few spills and is out of alignment and the focus gearing is crunched.
Since then I picked up an A 35-105/3.5. I have found it to be an excellent lens and the range has been just a little nicer for me. Before I had to switch quite often to a longer zoom. Now I just have to switch to a wider one and that is much less often. So those are my two suggestions: Pentax A 35-105/3.5 Tamron 28-75/2.8 -- Bruce Tuesday, January 31, 2006, 5:35:10 PM, you wrote: SL> Howdy!
