Keep It Simple, Stupid. Ferget multiple lenses. Keep your equipment to a minumum. Personally, I'd recommend just a standard lens. It'll keep you from being caught flat footed, by having a lens off the camera when something happens, or from wedging a lens when trying to change it quickly. I'm sure you will be warned about the "risk factor" of shooting your first wedding. Don't sweat it. I've shot probably a thousand weddings during my carreer, and feel the risk factor is as great now as it was 35 years ago when I was shooting my first ones. Hint: The girl in the pretty white dress is the VIP that day. Always know where she is. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
