I learned a great deal when I shot my first wedding. Shot it with a sony a33 and a500 with 50mm 1.8 and sony 18-200 Now I use Dual a700's with Sony 50mm 1.8, Sony 16-105 3.5, 85mm 2.8 and Minolta 70-210 f/4, Sony 16-50 2.8 It's older equipment but works great in my work flow.
I've got an APS-C camera (Canon 70D) and am looking into getting into portrait/wedding photography… Taking in for consideration that there's a 1.6x factor for the Canon APS system, which lens would be ideal for such event(s) – which would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
How much will everything on that table in front of you cost me,do you or can you write a list of all you have there and the schedule for shooting you presented to us here
I think a truly talented photographer could get amazing images with just one body, and a couple of lenses. You don't need to take 10 cameras with you to shoot a wedding. More isn't always more.
I get the impression that you are very much a gear first type of shooter. I would never take an a6000 (or a6300) to any of my wedding gigs, because I've never encountered a problem with focus speed at weddings. Makes me think that you rely a whole lot on what your gear could technically do for you, rather than focusing on simplifying things and focusing on content.
That's all well and good Gary. However just starting out who can afford that kind of equipment. Not very Helpful. Thanks V I have a Canon 30D & 50D with an assortment of lens. and flash.
Mr. Fong,Correct me if I am incorrect but you are mounting a full frame lens on a APS-c body(a77 mark 2, you stated that the lens would remain a 1.8. However, with the crop of 1.4-1.5 doesn't that increase the lens to more like a 3.5-4.5 because of the crop
I think the only problem I have with this is that most people can't afford 3-4 bodies like you can. Sony makes one body with one major strength and the another body with another strength. I just wish they'd make a great overall body that's fast in low-light (clubs, night concerts, darker wedding receptions), low noise in higher ISOs, tons of AF points, fast AF, much better battery life, weather sealed, better angles from the tilt screen, inner image stabilization, super quiet shutter, great EVF. I know they can do this in a smaller range finder body. Gary, when you were shooting Nikon?, did you find you needed fewer bodies to get the job done? Other than, of course, your normal backup body?
Just a simple comment 🙂 at around 8:06 you mentioned putting the 70-200 F2.8 on the a77 will make it a 300 F2.8, I thinks its wrong, it should be 300 F4.2 (Both focal and aperture should be multiplied). Btw, cool gear 🙂
Sir for a group photos prime lenses canon 750d is ok
Greatest autofocus camera in the world, now lets stick a non native sigma lens on it lol
Great review I always wanted the Sony 77m2 Is it still one of the best in the world?

Does the course you offer , How to photograph a wedding, include coverage using the a99?

Wedding gear for those who don't have a budget concern. Good for Gary. Not good for most others.
Aaa no, the 70-200mm F/2.8 become a 105-300mm F/4.2 lens on the A77 II.

That's like $25 k worth of equipment. love the office too.
so sick of sony sponsoring photographers on youtube. it's sickening, biased, stupid marketing.

Do the sony mirrorless cameras have that thing where they lock on the face and dont let go or is that just the a77?

If you shoot RAW, you don't have to worry about white balance. Decide about it later while on the develop mode.
great! but when do you use the Marshalls?
Do you have a video demonstrating teaching how to get the sky blue with the tungsten wb and the orange dome?
what do you think about the new 7AII Gary? And is the you ll have with it?
