Best Wedding Lens and Camera Body Choice Guide.
Are you just getting into becoming a wedding photographer and want to know which camera lens and camera body combinations are best? Which lens is the most useful during wedding photography? Well there is no single best lens and or camera body to use. In wedding photography there are so many variables that just using one single lens and camera body combination might not work so well for you...at least not for long.
Will you be needing a flash? Will you need a wide angle or zoom lens? Full frame DSLR or crop sensor body? These are all valid questions and deserve an answer. The trouble is there is no one size fits all solution.
This is not a tutorial on how to do wedding photography, hopefully you already know how to go about it. If not we will try to make this equipment guide simple as we can.
You are going to need a camera body of high quality, our friend TheSnapChick recommends carrying up to three different camera bodies on a wedding shoot. First and for most is the d300s if you can find it used. If not we highly recommend the Nikon D300DX to go with this is the Nikon 17-55mm DX Zoom Lens To go with is the recommended Nikon SB 800 Flash This camera body, lens and flash will be your primary equipment you will you for the majority of your wedding shoot.
Next camera body and lens combo you will need in your arsenal for your wedding photoshoot is as follows, Nikon D60 Camera Body the Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens with this very large aperture lens you will be letting in a lot of light and most likely won't need a flash for this.
Next suggested camera body and lens combo is the Nikon D80 paired up with the Nikon 18-200mm Zoom Lens
