What Flash To Buy

[DT_]

Hi,

I dont get what you mean.

I am also new to DSLR. Currently wanna take photos for my fren's wedding but dunno which lens to buy... 430EX or 580EX...

lens or flash? .. in this case it really depend on budget.. of course everyone knows which is better but it cost almost 50% more..

FYI, I will be using my kit lens. If my budget allow, i also want to get a lens but dunno which one, Wide lens better or 70-300 USM? ( I wanna take for wedding and landscape)

Becos I know 70-300 IS USM is about too high for me.

Experts here please advise.

Thanks n God bless

kit lens as in 18-55? .. it's good enough, actual day wedding don't really need telezoom..

If you're into landscape and wedding, you'll need a wide rather than a tele.
1. No need to say much for landscape, wide covers everything you wanna see.
2. For wedding, using a tele will only be useful if you want to take pictures of pimples. :bsmilie: [juz joking] I personally feel that a range between 20mm ~ 40mm will be sufficient for wedding. Most importantly, you'll need a wide aperture for indoor shots.

Hmm you might wanna consider the 17-85mm. Its wide enough for weddings... enough tele to take close-up candids... wide enough for general landscape. Plus it has IS for low light photography. It's also better than the kit lens in all aspects. A good all purpose zoom.

You'll also need an external flash. The choice is pretty obvious.
