Re: Telephoto lens for wedding?

I'm planning to do a lot of weddings so I think I'll save more money buying a telephoto lens. I want to use it for filming too and I think a telephoto lens is very filmic.

Re: Telephoto lens for wedding?

Just purchased a Sigma 75-200 2.8-3.5 FD mount off of ebay for $80, came with an fd to ef adapter as well. I have not received it yet so cannot comment on quality, although the very little info you can find on the internet about the lens seems promising. I agree that you should have a long lens in your bag but it is hard to throw a lot of money at a lens that you may not use that often. Will see...
