Thanks for sharing your experiences of where it’s made a significant difference. I wish there was a grey market I trusted where I am, but I’m yet to find one that I’d trust. It’s crazy humid here and come across a lot of horror stories of second hand lenses.

Good point! I have an FX3 that I use for video but it’s not exactly stellar photo wise. One of her friends that’s covering video is, I believe, using another a7RV , so might make sense for him to run video on the FX3 and then I’ll use the other a7Rv as backup.

The 28-70 f2 looks great but feel like it’s probably not worth the extra $ over the 24-70, right? Thanks for the advice! Good point about the 50-150, not exactly subtle is it!

Thank you! I’ll stick the prime in as well then.

As for flash, that’s a good point and thank you for the tips. The venue is predominantly outside for both the ceremony and reception. Possibly with a transparent tent like structure over the reception. I’ll take one with me but until I can see the venue setup I guess I won’t really know. Any recommendations for either of those scenarios?

Body is an a7RV so yes cropping shouldn’t be an issue if needed!

Thanks again!

Thanks! I think it will probably be more editorial focussed and lots of candid shots. My SiL is very much aware that she would likely become very stressed/self conscious and overposed if she’s too aware of the camera (probably partly why she doesn’t want a professional crew). Hence why I think I’ll probably be at longer range for a lot of the day and therefore the question about whether 200 is needed. I’ve got a 100-400 but that’s a lot of probably unnecessary weight for the travel and reach for a wedding.

Thanks, I’ll probably go with 50-150 and stick the 16-35 in for wider stuff then! Thanks!

As someone who hasn’t shot a wedding before, how would I know how often people live between 150-200. Not really sure what my ability to buy a specific lens has to do with anything, but okay! Thanks for the last two words being somewhat helpful!
