Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM

Jon: I'm relatively new to the whole DSLR world. I shoot video for weddings and events. I used to use camcorders but jumped ship and bought a 7D. Coming from a camcorder world, you have a lot of zoom and never really have to worry that much about distances. I shot a few weddings with nothing more than 50mm and 18-50mm lenses. I was dying for a telephoto lens. BUT, since I shoot weddings I have to have a lens that's at least 2.8. Well, the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM was awesome. I know most people already know this, but I fell in love with it. It made my shoot SOOOO much easier and I was able to get some amazing shots out it. The lens is big and heavy, but since it has a tripod mount built onto it, I was able to set my lens up on the tripod. I used my other lenses to shoot the bride walking down the aisle and I ran to my already set-up 70-200 and had my alter shot, ready to go. Keep in mind the minimal focus point is 55.1”. Great lens. I will definitely be renting again!
