Subject: Re: Damage Waiver for Lens Rental?
When I was shooting film for weddings, I had the fisheye zoom. I
found it to be useful for about 2 or 3 shots in the whole wedding.
And if I had not shown those images, the client wouldn't have noticed.
These days, shooting digital APS-C, the 16-50/2.8 and 50-135/2.8 are
the perfect pair for focal length and size to do weddings. The old
70-200/2.8's are
big and heavy and difficult to hand hold for long periods of time.
I rarely have need or desire to go wider than 16mm rectilinear when
shooting weddings. I side with Paul that if you don't have the 16-50/2.8,
rent it instead of the fisheye. You'll use it about 200:1 compared to
the fisheye.
For myself, I have yet to use a fisheye at a wedding but....
The OP says she has a specific use for the thing, what's the problem with
respecting that need?
For myself, I still shoot primes at weddings, I just can't seem to bring
myself to shoot with slow zoom lenses.
