I've started getting into event and wedding photography. I was planning to buy a 70-200 f/2.8 for the weddings coming up, but my fiance just got laid off and now I'm not sure I can afford it. Would it be better to just take the hit and buy the 70-200, or would say a wedding ceremony be doable with a cheaper prime, like the Tamron 90mm or Sigma 105mm? For reference I already have a 24-70, nifty fifty, and a superzoom for a walk-around.

Thanks, it is paying but not particularly steady at the moment - I have a day job to cover the bases. The problem is that for the weddings I've been to thus far, the 24-70 doesn't have a long enough range and the superzoom doesn't do well with poor lighting.

My Canon 6D is showing its age and I'm considering a swap to mirrorless, likely the R6 mk2 with an adapter for my beloved lens collection. My dad - an enthusiast astro and landscape photographer who recently switched to mirrorless from a 6D mk2 - flagged that using the screen as a viewfinder can get challenging in certain lighting conditions, like a bright sun at your back making it hard to see the screen and compose the shot. Anyone have experience with this problem and/or ways to mitigate it? My understanding from this thread and other sources is that regardless of the downsides, going to mirrorless would be a pretty serious performance upgrade for me. Edit: not sure what model he has but it's a Sony. Winter Rose fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Oct 10, 2023 |

Appreciate the responses! I believe he was referring to the LCD screen in his complaints. I've never used Live View much myself though. Interesting to hear about the issue with the EVF though it sounds like it comes down to personal preference between optical and EVF (and EVF and live view).
