Yesterdays Wedding - in the mountains

#8 - I shot that with my 24-70mm lens in AV mode at 2.8 and no flash. I shot the rings in front of the fireplace. I wish I had a macro lens. It takes a bunch of tries to get something in focus.

why don't you try the filter that Jamie uses? I think it's the 500D... anyhow, it effectively decreases your min focusing distance so you can do macro type work. The 24-70 already has a close min focusing distance so putting a 500D on there will likely give you the closeup distance you need, all without buying a new lens and having to carry it around! I would certainly buy it if I didn't already have the 60mm macro which I love so much! You'd probably want to 250D if using your 24-70, or the 500D if using the 70-200.
