Re: Nikkor Lens for Wedding - Pls Advise
I am no wedding photographer, but I strongly suggest you consider the 17-55 rather than the 17-35. I recently traded my 17-35 for a 17-55 and I'm very happy that I did. The image quality is essentially the same, and the 17-55 covers a wider range. And it's sharper wide open than the 17-35. Two respected professional… -
Re: Nikkor Lens for Wedding - Pls Advise
Rajul, For the D300, the 17-55, 70-200 VR and the 85 1.4 make a great combo. I love the 28-70, and use it with the 17-35, though this range can be covered by the 17-55. I used the 17-55 at a wedding recently and was surprised by the performance, though wedding photographers had raved about it. Good luck and enjoy the great… -
Re: Nikkor Lens for Wedding - Pls Advise
It is very convincing to hear from you (stephanie, jetranger, jthomas) that you are happy with 17-55mm f2.8. This is actually my top selection in the first place but as i mentioned earlier, i need lenses that are compitable for FF sensor. If i am not mistaken, 17-55mm is dx lens, right? As far as 17-35mm is concerned, i… -
Re: Nikkor Lens for Wedding - Pls Advise
Lenses I would say you are on the right track. The 70-200VR is a must have ... but I would suggest the 17-55 f/2.8 for indoor work. I find the 55 end of this lens to be used more often than the 17 end. I was at 2 weddings this summer and both the 'pros' were using this lens as well as the 70-200VR on second bodies. Avoid… -
Re: Nikkor Lens for Wedding - Pls Advise
let's see here: - Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 - Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8D - Nikon 85mm f/1.8D that's some serious glass there... my .02 if you're going to stick to cameras that have APS-c sensors is, drop the Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8 and get the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 and Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8. Take the few hundred bucks left over and pickup… -
Re: Nikkor Lens for Wedding - Pls Advise
I certainly agree with you john68. That was what i did with my 28-200mm ... really useful for candids. I am planning to do this, for my first body i will use 17-35mm and for second body i will use 70-200mm which can be used for candids. But i need to experience them first. More advices are welcome. Thanks to all again. -
Re: Nikkor Lens for Wedding - Pls Advise
Hi Rajul, I have been doing a lot of in-door shooting lately. I have tried to use the 18-200 but gave up on it. It's just too slow for in-door shooting unless hte room is going to be very lit-up. The VR is effective for "camera shake" but unless your subjects are going to be standing stock still you're going to get motion… -

Re: Nikkor Lens for Wedding - Pls Advise
Nikkor lens Rajul: I shot my first wedding using a D80 with a AF-S 18-70mm 1:3.5•4.5 GED lens, and considered it nearly perfect for the job. The wedding was outdoors with reception inside. Here's why it worked well for me: 1. at wide angle, I could take in the entire scene easily. 2. the zoom was perfect for close ups of…
