The gear you have!

So I'm kinda interested in the gear that all you guys have for shooting a weeding! I have been booking a TON more weddings, and I like it!

I'll start off by posting my gear list for weddings!

Canon 7D
Canon 70-200 f/2.8
Canon 24-70 f/2.8
Canon 85mm f/1.8
Canon 50mm f/1.4
Canon 430 EX ii

I really dont use the 70-200 much, nor do I use the primes, but they are still nice to have. I'm wanting to upgrade the 70-200 to the MK II version, as well as get a new camera body and use the 7D as backup! Maybe a mark III or a mark IV?

You should post this in the discussion group

Move it mods.

This should actually go in the Gear List thread (link in my siggy).

No, what Im saying is

For the wedding photographers, what gear do they prefer shooting, not my gear list alone, I was just wanting a idea of what other wedding photographer use.

A second body. What would you do if the 7D just quit?

I'm working on a second, I was talking about it today, I'm wanting a 1d body, either a iii or a IV

5D Mark III, 1D Mark III x 2, 35 1.4, 135 f2, 70-200 2.8

You definitely need a backup body and a backup flash. I shoot weddings solo, so I even bring backups of my most used lenses. You just never know.

Agreed on the second body.
