which FF lens do you use/Take on a Wedding shoot?

The last wedding I did:
Sigma 35mm 1.4 --> ~50% of the shots
Canon 24-105 --> 35% of the shots
Canon 85mm 1.8 --> 15% of the shots.

Not counting a few quirky fisheye shots.

Last wedding:
6d
5d mk2
135L
85 1.8
17-40L

My biggest weakness was the 17-40L being f4.

I hope to get a 35mm 1.4 soon. But the 85 1.2L II is temping and I might end up delay the 35 1.4 purchase for a while, plus I'm not primarily a wedding shooter

There is almost a grands difference (£££) between the 85mil 1.8 and 1.2 ! Is it really that much better / worth it ??

I keep on noticing the 85mm and 35 mm popping up

5d3
5d2
7d
24L II
35L
50 mk1
85L II
100L
135L
Sigma 12-24
16-35L II
24-105L
70-200L IS

Not everything gets used but it's in the bag...

I had a 5D3 and 7D body and used a 24-70 on the 5D3 and swapped between that and a 17-40 for the ceremony and group shots. I went with a 35 f2 and 85 f1.8 on the 7D most of the time and used a 100 f2.8L macro for the ring shots and a few portraits at the reception afterwards.

I used the 5D3 with the 50 at the night do but it was too dark so ended up with a 24-105 f4 and 580EX II and got some cracking shots with that setup. I didn't use the 7D at the night do at all. I've now swapped the 7D for a 70D so I can't wait to try that out at the next wedding next month.

Yes. 85L is a signature portrait lens in the L lineup.

However, you definitely need to try one and see if it is worth it to you. Given the trade-off on AF speed, strictly speaking the 85L isn't an upgrade to 85/1.8; the 85L is highly specialized.
