If you where going to a wedding with one lens what would it be ?

Im going to a friends wedding to partake in the day but also to take the dslr and get some pics for him. There will be no official photographer but they would like some pics. I really want to go with one lens and i am happy to buy one for the day.

Shoot !

24-70mm? I assume we are talking from your current selection, and your current selection is as on your DA page?

I will buy a new lens if needed, was going to stock up more anyhoo

I quite fancy the Canon 85mm, i love the 50mm but sometimes a little more length would help. However this would be limiting obv.

24-105 L USM IS all the way - i'm not biased of course

I thought about it but my m8 is on his 2nd and still not happy with it

what body are you using? just out of curiousity

I'd gun for the 24-70 F2.8 if it was me. 85 prime is too long in general.

Still have my 300D, will pick up a 20D before the wedding tho i hope.
