I've been giving this alot of thought. I've shot 4-5 weddings in the last couple of years, and I've been trying to come down to a conclusion as to how I "like" to shoot weddings. My observations in regards to lenses are these; 1) I like to take candids, and 2) I don't like using flash during ceremonies or receptions. So my kit for covering weddings is going to get spared down to one body and the fa24/2, and the fa85/1.4. I'm going to use a 50 and/or a 35 (in case of space restraints) for doing formal group shots. Mostly shooting Ilford HP5+, I love this film and push it to 3200 with great results.
