Hi, While I agree with my very learned colleague Andy, I feel that you should have several film speeds available in your kit. Wedding photographer routinely use high speed films by Kodak and Fuji in the 400, 800, 1000 and 1600 speed ranges. For fuji go here http://fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartners/Products.jsp?nav=1&parent=PRODUCT _CATEGORY_234666&product= for Kodak go here http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/features/featuresIndex.jhtml ?pq-path=2/522 These site are very useful as you plan your shoots and can get a look at your wedding site in advance so that you can plan to use a specific film.. I feel that a real PRO is someone that not only creates excellent images for his clients, but is always prepared when ever a new an potentially serious shooting situation comes up. Just like when all of your flashes die you can get usable images with high speed film. It's not the best answer but it may save your behind. REMEMBER you call a do over on a wedding..

I am now feeling little bit comfortable reading your email about the lenses. I will be using 35mm film initially and I have the lenses you mentioned. I am little bit nervous at this time to take the new job, however I will be accompanying my Father-in-law for sometime and follow him around when he is on job. I am currently taking pictures for practice with the following film, does anyone have any feedback or comments on the film?
