Equipment for a Wedding
I'm doing a wedding and am not sure which lenses to use for which specific shots. Also, do I need any more equipment. This is what I have...Canon 20D 18-55 lens 50 mm 75-300mm Which lens should I use for formals? for candids? PLease help? I have studio lighting but am thinking of getting the 580 flash? Tina

The 18-55 is going to be the preferred focal length for formals and candids. The 50 (f/1.8?) is the sharpest, best lens in your kit, but is a bit long for full-length formals and group shots. The 75-300 is too long for anything other than shooting from the back of the church or across the room candids (but those are probably beyond your flash range).

You could use your 50 all day long. I'd use all 3. Use the 18-55 for formals. Use all 3 during the ceremony. And, use the 50 for the reception, especially if it's dark. I use my 70-200 exclusively for portraits all the time. It's not too long and it gives great perspective, so if you get a chance to do couple shots of just the bride and groom, stand back, tell them to kiss or something, then shoot away.
