I am thinking about the 70-200 2.8 but then thought again for primes for low light. My only zoom is a 28-300 4-5.6 tamron. I was wondering what would be the next lens for weddings? Any help would be appreciated. Ben

The 70-200 F2.8 IS is nice to have, but I could do without it. I use it for reception speaches (which are never great photos anyway), and occasionally if I have to stand across a lake or something from a couple.

But I like to compose tightly. I've only shot one wedding reception since I bought my 70-200, but it was used quite a bit and I am very happy with the results. I was able to get in nice and tight for some key moments. Jason - I use Canon and stuff

I didn't say Sigma have a quality problem, they're good, it's the Canon 50mm F1.8 that's not so hot.
