Wedding photography

In article , says... "Caesar" wrote in message etworks.com... Hi, I shot film (35mm) for many years, had my own dark room and stopped 10 years ago. Now I want to jump back shooting weddings. Since my photographer is leaving us and the area, I better do it now myself since I have to attend to the weddings anyway. I still have a Canon 10D which I bought 5 years ago. This is not an option and would be only a back-up. I'm thinking of buying two new Canon EOS 3 film cameras. You might think why go "backwards" and not digital. Well I thought about it and I believe film is still the better option (price, time consumption and quality). I have 2 lenses (I have more but these are the two which I intend to use)- the 24-70/2.8 L USM and the 70-200/2.8 L USM IS. Would you recommend to get a fixed 85/1.2 L lens too? Since it is hard to get the Fuji 100 films (only 200 are available here) it might be too bright for this lens and the type of weddings I will shoot with this lens (mostly beach and island weddings with bright sun light and sand). Would you recommend to get an EOS 3 and an EOS 1 or would the two EOS 3 be sufficient? No sports photography here so I don't even want to bother with the PBE2 (minimizing weight since these lenses are already quite heavy). Would this setup be ok or do you have any other suggestions? Thank you for your input. Cheers Caesar Just curious as to how film photography is more cost effective than digital... Our lab charges $0.70 per print (5x7) and this works out nearly the same as the developing cost of a 36 film plus the cost of the film. Cheers |
