Hello,
I'm a newby when it comes to digital photography (I have some experience with 35mm though). I have a wedding coming up next soon and a friend of mine will be doing the photography. I purchased a Pentax k-r with 18-55mm kit lense a few months ago and have been playing with it since then. I also purchased DSLR for dummies 2010 version and I rented a Pentax da*60-250mm lense, Pentax 77mm limited 1.8 lense and a AF540 flash w/powerpack for the wedding date. Did I choose the right lenses for wedding photography or should I get different lenses? Also, since I chose a da*60-250mm, am I doubling up by getting the 77mm limited? Would I be better off getting da* equivalent to 18-55 and not get the prime? Anything I'm missing? Any advise would is greatly appreciated. Thanks again Dan |

Lenses for weddings and receptions usually will be in the wide to normal range, going to portrait length. Only thing you might want the long zoom for would be a close shot of groom placing ring on the bride's finger, and maybe a couple others.
The Pentax DSLR and Lens forums are pretty active and you can get better advice there from people familiar with the lenses you have in mind. brian |
