Unpopular opinion: I quit renting lenses for weddings and bought one cheap 50mm instead
Used to rent a 70-200 for every wedding shoot down here, about $85 a weekend, and I told myself it was worth it. Then last spring I shot a backyard wedding in Gilbert with just a $120 used 50mm and the couple liked those photos better than the zoomed ones. Now I show up with that one lens and my feet do the zooming, which sounds dumb but it works. Rented glass also means picking it up Friday and dropping it Monday, and I missed a drop-off once because of traffic on the 60. My keeper rate went up too, since I stopped fumbling between lenses during the ceremony. Anybody here shoot full weddings on one prime, or am I the only one doing it the hard way?
