OK, just for fun, here's my "usage" on my last wedding:

24-70L: a good 85%
100 macro: 2 shots...less than half a %
70-200L IS: 5%- just for "down the aisle"
35L: just under 10%- perfect for "couple" portraits

As for that "noise" issue- I didn't have the courage to use a 28-75 for my weddings...just didn't cut it in low light. As for "body" noise- the 20D is pretty loud when it's clicking away. I'm very much looking forward to my 30D. Played with it again in Circuit City the other day. It's half as loud as the 20D...just a nice muted click.

The lens noise is irrelevant compared with the shutter noise, and was never an issue. I'm upgrading to the Canon 24-70L for the next wedding season.

Thanks!

I use four lenses generally - 24 1.4L, 35 1.4L, 50 1.4, and 85 1.8. I usually bring the 17-40 as a backup and I sometimes bring the 70-200 2.8L if I think I'll need to shoot from a distance.
