I had a chance to hear fellow LUGer NIKONOS-V, and this is very quiet 
camera, better then my M6.

What is strange, usually people not directly, like groom and bride, involve 
in wedding have issues with photographers. I was once, helping local pro 
with Hasse plus SB28 in A mode, and the ceremony went to the point the 
priest wanted to stop the weeding, and allow to make pictures, but bride and 
her mother said go on with ceremony.  Probably because everyone else was 
using P@S with auto flashes, whenever they wanted. I noticed a photographer 
with experience is almost invisible, not rushing like everyone else to get a 
photo. He has a list and he is in right place and time to make desired 
photo. He knows also whom to photographs, and how to arrange a group. This 
is on formal wedding.
For candy like ceremony, he shoots more film, only 35mm on Fuji film, 
because of nice, balanced colors, and do sort of reportage. And he is with 
bride when she comes to ceremony and after during party, making photos even 
during speeches, dance (with multiple flash exposure on  the same frame – 
SB28)…
It is quite an effort to make this job done.

Victor
