So, I've got to play photog at an upcoming wedding reception (they already know they get what they pay for), and while I'm not willing to buy lots of new gear for something like this, it IS an opporunity to slip something past the lady who controls the purse strings...
I was originally going to do the bulk of it via an A50/1.4 and the AF35-70/2.8 (the softer aspects that this lens is reputed to have was a nice plus), but I'm now considering something in a longer range, if possible. Would one of the 135 in either 2.5 or 3.5 be acceptable? I'm limited to used, but I see some of those come up in the used section of B&H or Adorama a few times, and I'm now considering either. So, does the general population think a good plan, or stick with what I know? Oh, and as I said, I'm supposed to just do candids, and since I have no flash (and couldn't use one correctly if I did), I figured I'd stick to available light, and big fstops for small DOF. However, I'm starting to figure that perhaps 70mm might not be long enough... My only other lens is a cheap Quantaray 70-300 (which would be f4 up to abou;t 100mm or so). Obviously, a fast (and cheap!) lens is what I'm looking for. -- http://www.infotainment.org "The destructive character is cheerful." - Walter Benjamin
