Berube > http://www.goodphotos.com I shot a handful of weddings ten or 15 years ago with a cheap 35-70 Nikor variable AF set on P with an SB-26 flash boy was life care free I didn't even need a battery pack. And whenever I put on the 28 it was a mistake. To be made into a midget is not what people are fond of. Then I switched to Hasselblad so I could worry about wither my lenses were syncing or backs were working or cords would give out on me. What's life without an ulcer? Mark Rabiner
