Re not using large memory card. Very true if it craps out, also very true if one of many cards were lost. Both are possible....

Hay Amy, I just got my SB800 too. And I found the flash to be really powerful (compairing SB400 and build in on the D50). I suggest you look at getting a Pocket Bouncer or Demb Flash Diffuser's. I have ordered and waiting for my Demb.

I guess the key is being able to try a few copies and walk away with a good one.

 

How often do you guys find you are using the 200 end of the 70(80)-200 Nikons?

 

And do you think a soft photo at say the Sigma's 135-150mm range is a good thing or bad thing for weddings etc?

 

Jonathan, does that case holds both the body and the lense or just the lense?

 

thanks.

Hello there,

I read on here that lots of people use the Nikon 70(80)-200 F2.8 Lense for

weddings and events. After having seen and handled one myself recently I wonder

if there is an alternative because of its weight, and as such I would not be

able to shoot with another camera/lense while I carry it with me.

 

So I have been looking for a lighter (weight wise) lense. Has anyone been

shooting events and weddings with the Sigma 50-150 F2.8? Or have been thinking

along the similar lines and either proceed or rejected the idea? I would like

to hear your thoughts.

 

Thanks

Felix
