<p>To Juanita:</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>No I lost most of the ceremony but not all! and 1000 images for a 9hrs wedding is not over shooting! I try and caputure every moment of there day. Obvisiouly all the images we take do not go to the clients , since there usually blinkers, bad faces.. etc.</p>

<p>AGAIN, I was only asking" I am a wedding photographer and need some help on what MUST have lenses to put in my bag!<br />??? by gosh straight answer would of been very nice. I was only asking what others had???????? and used.</p>

<p>I would appreciate if this thread would end.... things are getting taken out of context! Thank you</p>

<p>THE MANUAL FOCUS WOULD NOT WORK EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLO I have stated this. my goodness I really was just asking a simple question. I only lost someof the ceremony photos..............and have over 1000 in all.<br>

I bought this lens as I was insured that is it exactly what I needed it for! YES i know how to use my lenses. The tamron reviews were very slow fcosuing on canon cameras only I ASKED AND SPOKE WITH 10 diffrent sources in relation to the NIKON camera and all say it was would be much faster well like the store I bought it from said it malfunctioned!...............</p>

<p>I hope you all are in perfect situations all the time and know how to perfectly handle every situation correctly the FIRST Time!. I have been shooting for years and KNOW I DID LEARN MY EQUIPMENT ON SOMEONE ELSES WEDDING!.<br>

YES. I have great contract that protect I and the clients, thank you!</p>

<p>Good Day</p>

<p>To Greory C</p>

<p>Thank you fro the kind response. I will make this right with them, I did not lose all the ceremony photos alot of them yes but I have some. I will do whatever it takes. No the camera/lense would not focus manually ..... The store is overnighting me a new lense to comsensate for the lemon. But I thank you for the actually advice and not just insults like so many others. THANK YOU!<br>

I will think twice aboout posting to this website in the future =(</p>

<p>Hello I am new to this site, I shot a wedding this past weekend and knew that the sun was setting though lighting was good when I was waitiing for the wedding party to arrive to begin.<br>

Sun light fell VERY quickly and they began to wak, I was shooting with a tamron 70-200mm f 2.8 lens with speedlight and I could not get the lens to focus clearly on any subject! I had a back up 18-135 nikon f 4.5 but had no external flash with this camera, and it was not quick enough for the very low lighting situation I found myself in.</p>

<p>I am just sick, what do I tell the couple??? I shot all the photos in raw so I can salvalge about 5 but this is just horrible... On the good side I got great reception photos the rest of the night but the wedding ceremony was way out in the middle of a golf course with zero lighting only the natural sun settiing behind the moutain.</p>

<p> I did have external 1000w lighting available with me though they said it would not be dark, and lighting was originally fine. At the time the started which seem to take forever, the minister talked for about 10 minutes and by this time light was gone..... I could of USED my light if I would of known.<br>

Is this my fault should I have had my light ready??? but would it not of been very distracting to turnout 1000w or even 500 w lighting in the midde of the ceremony?</p>

<p>I just need some help on how to have this never happen again, and how to deal with the couple about this situation? Oh I thank anyone for a response with this!<br>

Has this every happened to anyone else????</p>

<p>I am a wedding photographer and need some help on what MUST have lenses to put in my bag!<br>

I sot a wedding with a 70-200mm tamroon f 2.8 which failed on me saturday, the lens would not focus on any subect! I am just sick because I lost almost all of the wedding ceremony photos, which has never happened before.<br>

Granted we were at sun down, though I has a eternal speedlight on a bracket frame , but could not get the lens to focus at all!, I had my 18-135 f4.5 lens but it was just way to dark to get a shot.<br>

We were not expecting this to be night time, but we lost light so quickly I had no time to get to me bag to get my 50mm 1.8.</p>

<p>Please help I never want this tp happen again, I need to make sure I have a lens that wioll shoot in this very low lighting conditions, and what setting would be optimum for this situation????</p>

<p>Thank you so much for any hep and responses!</p>
