best canon lens for a wedding image
Megan with
I'm a photography student in high school and I was just asked to be the photographer at my friends brother's wedding. I'm really excited to do it but I want to get a new lens. I have a Canon t1i with only the standard lens. I'm looking for a good lens that would work good for the wedding that's not too pricey.

If you have to ask such a question, you are in no way qualified to be shooting someone's wedding. The most important thing you need is a contract signed by the bride and groom stating you will not be held responsible for your work and that they cannot sue you for what you do and do not produce.

What is the best type of lens for wedding/event photography with the Canon 5d or Canon 50d?

I'm looking to take the plunge but wanted to get advice about the best recommended lens selection for either camera - any advice is welcome! Thanks!
Answer
Depends on your budget.
You will find that your body will depreciate and be worth less money as you use it, but the lenses won't depreciate so much.
Secondly, the lenses tend to keep their quality, they are good for several years, whereas the bodies tend to get better each line that comes out. Heck, look at the 20D compared to the 50D!
Finally, a good lens more than makes up for a cheaper body - you can almost get away with a 450D with a few L series lenses!
Better to get the 50D and better lenses than get the 5D and cheaper lenses. Having worked with crap stock lenses (and mid-range lenses) before and seen the photographs suffer from all sorts of distortion and softness I would recommend the better lenses.
One last tip, prime lenses are cheap but produce very sharp photographs with little distortion.
Ok, one more tip, you might want to take some photography classes first if you haven't taken any yet, getting an awesome camera does not automatically mean you will take great photographs.
