John, The last thing you want to do is to fiddle around with any lens changes. If you're going to rent a DA* 16-50, I highly recommend renting a DA* 50-135 and a second body if you can. Put one lens on each camera and have them both handy. You can swap out one of the lenses for your fast 50 at the reception if you want.
Finally, get your gear ahead of time and practice with it! Run around the house and take pictures of vases or something, but play with the gear! You really, really want to focus on the action at the wedding and not on figuring out unfamiliar lenses.... Paul Stenquist wrote: > >I would travel lighter. You won't need the fisheye or the DA 21.

I would be very nervous without one. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
