55-300mm
I think the Sigma one is a bit faster in focusing ==

Speed is nothing if it is not accurate

u bought 55-300mm DX? before that was sigma what range?
cz my fren interested to get a zoom lens..

because of the rubber grip at the zoom ring is loosen la.. if not put rubber band, the rubber at zoom ring will lari2...

Good point

I'll probably invest in a lencoat when my rubber grips gives way >_< LOL

lol.
i got a lens coat, cos when outdoors under hot sun alot, the lens barrel gets too damn hot to hold

LOL, the other day under the hot sun during Super GT it was still alright.. just at the end my hands were sweating so much I had to use a towel to grip my lens and body ._.

maybe is full frame lens that's why focus is faster? try compare it with the nikkor AF-S 70-300mm VR

55-300 focus is quite okay if you dont focus from infinity or from the closest distance

true....will never go wrong with nikkor lens

From my experience, usually they held in large halls and it can get pretty dark, and I mean... really dark...
They main table might also be inside a column or something which is also covered, making it even more dark and get good/proper exposure inside when you're shooting from the outside.
There might have many colourful ligthings and the hall light might keep changing, bright-dim-bright-dim-bright occasionally.
So, do watch out for the colorful spotlights messing up with you white balance, tint, etc and also the frequenty changing light.

During toasting, they might blow bubbles, fake snow, etc. May cause you unable to get a good shot.

The dark environment can make it hard to focus as well.

It really depends on how they organize the wedding. It can be more simple or very grand.

The good thing about it is, usually it's very colorful, so you can get many nice colorful photos.

what lens would u use to shoot the wedding?

Shoot them BeautyLeg style.

Hey there!! Congratulations

Andy had pointed out really great points!

Do remember weddings are about details so take detailed shots especially the drawings on their hands

great info! will keep all of this in mind tmr, thank you!

d700 + 2470/50 1.4 + sb900
im guessing with the 2470 it would be pushing my ISO capabilities to the max if its dark. worst comes to worst ill just switch over to the 50 though..

That's why I have lenscoat on all my lens.....total spent so far can buy a new lens already.....

Good morning~

Love the Melacca, a very nice place for photography

hi D800/D800E users... i have a question

can i install a FX lens on the D800 then manually set the camera to DX mode so i get the FOV of a crop sensor (105mm -> 157.5mm)?

the DX mode will produce 15mp pictures rite?
