| The bride of a friend of mine asked me for my camera as she couldn't afford a wedding photographer. Over here in Albania, the Bride has her own wedding, then the next day or so the Groom goes and picks her up a her home, than it's the Groom's wedding.
Anyways, I offered her that I'd shoot her wedding for free but I told her that I don't keep responsibility if something goes wrong (luckily only the fill flash of my twin flash thyristor flash went wrong).
I brought almost all my lenses with me and 2 flashes. I started by using the sigma 28-70 mm f/2.8, but there's a lot of dancing in our type of weddings and the place was tight but very well lit. I found out that 28mm was too narrow there and I was already shooting at f/5.6-6.3 ISO800 so I gave the kit lens a try. 18mm was perfect and at the apperture I was shooting, some PP sharpening was just fine.
If I had to choose one single lens for a wedding a 17-70mm lens would be just right. Which one is better though the Pentax 17-70mm F/4 or Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5? |
