This year I will be second shooting at weddings again and leading a handful or more on my own. To prepare for this I purchased the following glass canon 28-70 f2.8L 80-200 f2.8L both used and off ebay.
The more I read the wedding photo forums out there and the more I think about what I did last year I keep thinking that I might have made a poor decision in purchasing the 28-70 L. Half the photos I shot last year I took with the kit lense because it was the only thing I had that went wide enough. I shot the other half of my photos with my tamron 28-75 2.8 that I will be selling soon.
So I find myself struggling with the idea that I need to replace my kit lense because I know I am going to reach for it if I don't.
So Should I keep it or scrounge deep and go for one of the following:
sigma 15-30 f3.5-4.5, justifys my 28-70, is faster then others below $500 and is usable on a full frame camera, (5d in 1-2years)
Tamron 17-50 2.8, faster, sharper, better- not as wide
sigma, 18-50 2.8 fast, cheaper then the tamron not as wide
tokina 12-24 f4 not as fast wide justifies my 28-70, wide
You know if nobody screams bloody murder I might just keep shooting with the kit lens. Worked last year why not this year right?
Please rearrange my thinking on this. I spent a lot of money already, and there is more to spend, I just want to have all the tools avaiable to take advantage of every situation I can afford.
Thanks
