What lens for wedding photography?

Answer 1

Seriously and without malice, if you have to ask I hope you are not contemplating photographing someone's wedding. There is an awful lot to know about what to shoot when, where and how, and how to prepare for it. If this is a case where they are saying they really don't give a darn about whether or not you do a good job, then for a 35mm camera, your best all round bet is a good quality 28 - 80 zoom or something like that and plan to stay in the 50 to 80 mm range. When it's all over, they'll probably realize the importance of what happened and regret what they said if it turns out poorly due to lack of experience.
