The Need for Speed (Johan)

One day I received some startling (at least to me!) advice:

"Gear your equipment toward wedding photography. Buy fast lenses, such as the Canon 16-35/2.8L and 70-200/2.8L, and you will be able to use them in low light, as well as for wildlife. You can't use a slow 100-400/5.6L at a wedding even with the Image Stabilizer because of the low light, but you can add extenders to a fast lens and still achieve satisfactory results for wildlife"

Thus the owner of the local pro camera store I frequent told me when I stated that I wanted to eventually buy a 100-400mm. At first I thought he must be crazy; but the more I think about it, the more reasonable his advice seems to become. Therefore, my current plan is to buy a 70-200/2.8 next. It doesn’t need to be fancy; a used one will do, and then I can save up for extenders or a 100-400mm. Oh, and I just got my Canon 16-35/2.8L last week, and it is AMAZING!

If you haven’t tried out an f2.8 or faster lens, I’d encourage you to give them a try. The bright viewfinder image they provide is addicting, especially in low light. And the ability to open up the aperture in low light is great. I have a tough time using my 2 slow f5.6 zooms after using my fast 16-35/2.8L, 50/1.8, and 100/2.8 Macro.

Both photos taken with the Canon EOS 10D and EF 100/2.8 Macro USM.
