I suppose you could've led off in your question with what you have and not ask what you should use. Unless you have unlimited funds available at your fingertips and when someone tells you to use a 35 1.4 Aspherical and you don't have one .... you go out and buy it. Or any other lenses offered as the wedding lens of choice which you don't own. However from your comment I assume you're not a professional and this is for a friend! Unfortunately this is about the worse kind of sucker shoot any amateur can get into when they haven't done it before. However you're into it up to your rear and I'd suggest keep it simple then you only have to concentrate on the picture taking. If you have a 35mm and a 90 you'll be able to get everything your friend will want or need. Other than that and you can get so tangled up changing lenses if you have only one body that you'll screw it up for sure. So me son keep it simple, a 35 and 90 will cover your ass quite well. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
