props000 Hatchling 7 posts Joined Apr 2006 Location: SE Wisconsin More info | May 23, 2006 21:32 | #1 I'll be going to Hawaii (North of Kona) for my brother's wedding in June. I'd like to have a nicer lens than my kit while I'm there, so I'm looking into renting...finances being as they are...something to put on my 350D. From my research I'd gather a wide angle would give me the most mileage. I just wondered what you all thought I should see about getting my hands on. Thanks!

Wide angles are fun, and I live in wide angle world when I travel, but I think capturing the wedding will be as important as capturing the scenery. Canon 5D Mark IV, 24-105L II, 17 TS-E f/4L, MPE 65, Sigma 50 f/1.4, Sigma 85 f/1.4, 100 f/2.8L, 135 f/2L, 70-200 f/4L, 400 L

I don't think I'll be shooting the wedding being best man and all.

I dont know what is available or how many you can afford but I would take at least a wide zoom(like 10-22, 16-35L, or 17-40L), a fast prime (like 35L or 50 1.4) and a tele zoom (like 70-200, 70-300, 100-400).

I should get plenty of opportunity at the reception though. This will be my first trip with more of a camera than a P&S.
