This is a very important moment in these peoples lives to put it mildly, and deserves to be recorded as well as possible. Which has more value. A crappy picture taken by a crappy wedding photographer with a Zeiss Hassy lens? Or a sensitive natural light taken of the decisive moment by an artistic photographer using funky but fun old canon glass? The ideal of course is to get the second guy to use better glass but what the hell no one hired him to be there in the first place, he's just playing around. It's just a wedding. From the standpoint of my work and being on the lug i find this very frustrating. One of these days we'll get a younger brilliant real photographer like Johnny Deadman and Kyle on the LUG who will also have a real appreateiation of Leica Glass. This photo could have been of better technical quality than the wedding photographers, not worse. And should have been if you ask me.
