I'm shooting a wedding next month.(Tim, thanks for your PM this morning)and I was going to use the 20D as backup in case of a problem with the 5D. But, I decided I might use it as a 2nd camera to save lens changes.What lenses in my gear list would any of you use on each of those two bodies?

24-105 on the 5D, a friend of mine swears by that for weddings. 50mm F1.4 on the 20D, for low light. You could put them the other way around if you're mainly using the 50mm. I'd leave the 100-400 in the car, it's not so useful, too slow. The 70-200IS could go onto the 20D if you need it, say for the ceremony and the reception.

Thanks Tim. You mirrored my thoughts, so I feel on track. The 100-400 will stay in the car. I may try a few portraits with the 70-200 and 5D as well. I must say that despite some not liking the 20-105, I love it. The wedding is midday, so Im praying for a slight overcast to tone down the shadows. I'm taking 2 speedlites and some small and large reflectors to try out if time permits later in the afternoon.
