Which will you choose for wedding if you're using FF (5D)?

[miniUltraman]

good reasoning.. both lens r equally competitive.. tt canon 24-135mm f/2.8L would a ho say liao.. it cover the 85mm and the 135mm.. if the focal length is reduce to 16-135mm even better still.. hee..

16-135 f2.8 :sweat: You need more muscles

16-135 f2.8 :sweat: You need more muscles

time for mass gainers n weights~~ hehe.. wide focal range + small aperture value = muscles hehe..

just use the 28-300L la.

back on topic, i read/heard that the 16-35 is quite soft on the edges for FF cameras. also, it may be a bit wide for shooting a whole wedding using the one lens.

IMO, f/4 is too slow for a lot of indoor shooting - supposing that most of the wedding will be indoors. i don't think that IS can make up for it either. so that would rule out the 17-40 and 24-105.

so that leaves only one lens left. the 24-70 f2.8. anyway, u don't have to get the 24-70L. Sigma has a very good 24-70 f2.8 too for less than 1/3 the price.

e choice would be 24-70L since we can only choose within the limited choices in this thread.. hehe

Hi Dan, I beg to differ. I don't think any f/4 lenses are too slow for indoors. I've shot all my weddings using the 17-40 f/4, and are able to obtain very decent shots. Of course, flashes will need to be used.

Of course, faster lenses are always preferred, but you may like to weigh between price and how fast a lens is.

Finally, you're getting it. :bsmilie:

The thing is, during a wedding you're able to use flash most of the time, except maybe in the church, or when you want to capture ambience.

Assuming you're in a church service, then you will want the faster glass. You may also need faster glass if you're capturing ambience with moving subjects.

However, the "standard" ambience/mood shots you capture are of still things, such as candles and decor, and as such the IS of the longer but slower 24-105 can compensate for such things.

As Virgo also mentioned, it's price, performance and needs.

still the 24-70L for me. the ultra wides are not long enough.
i like the f2.8 and of cos the faster shutter speed. weight is not a concern.
and i haven't found the 70mm to be too short for what i'm shooting yet.

on a side note, f2.8 isn't that fast either.

Sounds like you are almost there :bsmilie:

dun get u. almost where?

Looks like a toss-up between 1-stop extra light (f2.8 vs f4) and greater reach (70mm vs 105mm).

However, since Canon's FF cameras are renowned for low noise at high ISO's, can the higher ISO's compensate adequately for an f4 lens?

It's hard to say. There may (and I have encountered one such situation) be a time where even the highest usable ISO (to me it's 800, and only 1600 when I really absolutely have to) gives you shutter speeds that are too slow to stop or even control motion blur.

sorry.. I meant you have more or less made up your mind 24-70

 

[eng_keow]

Sorry, ani1 use the 70-200mm f2.8 is as well?

and to add on - 5D (ISO 1600) and 24-70mm would be great even without flash.. as demo by iamasaint..
