    Cover what aspect of them? I've a 70-200L IS for the alter but seriously how can I hand it over to a total web stranger? And anyway is it the lens you need?

    I love to help fellow togs but...?... Can you see my predicament?

    The problem here is and I don't want to sound bitchy but..you're accepting jobs when you don't have the adequate gear. It's shooting yourself in the foot if you end up not having the right stuff and then ending up going back to your customers and tell them you can't do the job.

    Was at a Communion last year and only the official photographer, who shot a video was allowed to use a camera in the church once the ceremony started, it would have been mayhem, if everyone was allowed to take photographs. Mind you a few, or maybe just one mother had to jump up with her camera when her little darling was reading a prayer. Plenty of opportunities afterwards in church alter etc.

    While I 100% agree you on that. It can be pretty expensive and we all have to start somewhere.

    A 50 1.4 should do nicely I think. Depending on how much you would be getting paid for these photographs.
