My favorite lenses for weddings are the 24 1.4, 50 1.2 and 135 2.0. I don't need anything else. I pay attention to directional light and can add it when I need it but I find off-camera flash to be a...

As far as the underexposure is concerned I find the mark2 to be much more accurate than the mark 1. After shooting with the mark1 for 3 yearsI had gotten to the point where I knew when the meter was...

I've got a 24-70 2.8L I'm trying to sell... :D

From the little testing I've done I'm not seeing the 14-24 as that much different than the new 24. Both have a different quality though so I can see why you might prefer one or the other. I'd love it...

Using manual focus for wedding work really isn't practical for me. I've decided to go with the new 24 1.4. The 16-35s need to be stopped down way too low to get close to wide-open prime performance....

We only shoot weddings and mainly shoot at 4.0 and under. I generally keep in the 2.0-3.2 range most of the time. We only use L series primes because the image quality is great at those apertures - I...

I sure can't change your mind Karel, and I imagine everyone else is getting tired of our back and forth, though its been fun. All I can say is that when my order comes through I'll own 4 5d mark 2s...

I thought I was going to let it go but I can't!! I was wondering about the title of this thread and really wanted to know if Karel thought the 5dmk2 was worth the price but just barely or whether he...

I shouldn't do this, but what the heck! I've used a d700 and a d3 and I find the 5dmk2 to be a superior camera for weddings. Granted the Nikon options are hardly bad cameras. They are all pretty...

Yup, some folks are complaining. The places that I frequent most folks seem pretty enamored with their 5dmk2s and the resulting files. I use the AF in great light, terrible light, availalbe light,...

All I can say is that I am absolutely in support of you having and sharing your opinion even if I don't agree with it. I do find it a little off-putting (and hey, this is the internet so I might be...

My workflow is fine? I view files at a reasonable level and I'd like to think that we have a commitment to only using technically sound images. We sell wall portraits from every session and have no...

I photograph 100% weddings and I find the focusing spectacular. With the 5dmk1 I would use the off center points the vast majority of the time. I would only use the center point during the reception...

I will say in agreement of Karel's blog post that the 50D is a pretty clearly uninspiring camera and pretty unrevolutionary in the most negative way.

I think the 5dmk2 is absolutely flipping awesome. I loved the 5d and this model improves in every way. Plus it serves a very important need for me - simplicity. I tested out a 1dsmk3 a few weeks ago....

I borrowed a 16-35 v2 from CPS a while back and I didn't get to test it next to the version 2 but it still didn't look like it came close to the primes. I don't use cropped cameras but the Tokina...

Hello!


I'm a wedding photographer by specialty and we use only L primes at this point. For wide angle we use the 24 1.4 and 35 1.4 mostly for the superior image quality. I loved using the 16-35...
