  1. If you're shooting with a 50mp body, you need all the sharpness you can get. So 24-70 II is the lens to go for. Forget the reach of the 24-105. With 50mp a slight crop wil give you the same fov. And with much sharper results.
  2. <p>Does uncle Bob has a contract too? He too is shooting for himself and maybe the couple. If I should shoot for free (which I never do), there will be no contract, I am uncle Bob on that particular moment. Only when handing over the CD the couple has to sign something :-)</p>
  3. <p>Not supporting flash now and in the future sucks. How on earth could any manufacturer make a computer which doesn't support flash? If you anyway buy this, I'll compliment the marketing of Apple convincing you buying the damn thing. In the end it's all about marketing.</p>
  4. <p>As with any camera, the higher the ISO the lower the dynamic range. Everybody is carrying some sort of camera nowadays, so the guests are blasting away with their camera's, so my flash won''t hardly be noticed. During my last wedding a video guy used some horrible fluorescent light that killed the mood during the first dance instantly. The bride complaint (to me) after wards, she dared not telling this to the video guy. I was glad that I had my remote flashes: they reduced the video guy's light to a candle and recreated a better mood for images of the first dance. Try shooting that with available light, you can instantly dump the images. So be prepared for any situation.</p>

    <p>Jeff A, lives in near Scotland where most of the time they have an overcast sky, so low contrast ratios.<br>

    Again use flash if you need to, but don't make any shooting style into some sort of religion. You have to deliver in any circumstance.</p><div>00Z2ig-379845684.jpg.5ee8cc57d56754c6493a4ec6694e1db5.jpg</div>

  5. <p>I shoot only with available light and if it happens to be flash, then flash it shall be.<br>

    Strong points of photographers like Jeff A are composition and timing, not light. He very much shoots like Cartier-Bresson. At least he's is inspired by CB and takes the light as it is, but composition is primary, that's why he uses lots of BW images. It's easier to use dodge and burn on a BW image than on a color image. If you use flash the right way you can hardly see the difference.</p>

    <p>You gotta be kidding. If she delivers nothing, equals they paid nothing.<br>

    Leila, you answer is in your question. You need fast glass. If the 70-200/2.8 is too heavy, use a monopod. 2nd cam is very important. Try to get the rent paid, looks reasonable to me. Certainly they are aware that you are shooting for ZERO.</p>
