I do use it for weddings and informal portraits.
For formal portrait, I use either a Pentax-F50 1:1.7 or a pre-AI Nikkor-P 105mm 1:2.5.
One lens 18-50mm is not sufficient for weddings and churches. The last time, I borrowed a Pentax 50-135mm 1:2.8. For the next wedding, I'll buy that Pentax lens, or a Sigma 50-150mm 1:2.8 (I like a 70-200mm 1:2.8, but I'm afraid that it's too big and too heavy).
I still need to cover the wide angle. 10-20mm sounds great, but is kind of too slow. That's why I think of the Ricoh.
I have a Tamron 18-250mm and a Tamron 28-300mm. They a great general- purpose lenses, but too slow for indoor and for weddings/churches.
