Hello everyone.
Yesterday one of my best friends called me and asked for shooting at his weeding (24th June 2017)! He doesn't want a professional photographer for many reasons (price, hate for posing for photo etc).
I'll be with another photographer girl friend, and we will mostly have to take pictures to pretty everything with no claims on quality etc, just to take some good memories of the event.
Actually my kit is not tuned for a weeding, i got a:
60D + 18-135 IS STM, 50 F1.8, 35 F2, 100-400 L IS USM II
I was thinking (also out of the weeding) some pieces to improve my gear, in particular:
Samyang 8mm f3.5 CS II < i want this one for many reason, for sport, funny travel\landscape pictures and now i think i can use it also for fun pictures during wedding!
An external flash (430 EX II maybe, i'm not experienced with it!)
My real doubts are:
1) I will need a second body, but i'll probably take another body - personally i prefer APS-C not for the price of the body, but for the lens price & the fact that i use APS-C with 100-400 for wildlife shooting. I'm not a professional and i won't be a professional so i prefer to stay in budget but be more versatile.
I'm looking in the future for a 70D \ 7D Mark II (if price went down) and my kit could became
Eventually 70D\7D Mark II + 35 f2(for details) or 18-135 (in open spaces) + Flash
Second body 60D + Fisheye ready for everything
The other photographer will take care of what i don't cover
An alternative could be find the 17-50 Tamron f2.8 (not stabilized) which has a good price for the quality, and use it instead of 35f2 \ 18-135 for general lens and pictures with parents & friends!
If you have some suggestions, i'm here (and i got a year to study!)
