Is it good for weddings?

I don't do weddings but I don't think that a wide angle lens would be a good lens for people shots at a wedding. Wide angle distorts faces and wouldn't be a lens of choice except perhaps group shots or landscape motives. For people portraits one would usually use a prime or zoom lens somewhere between 85 and 135 mm focal length.

Just beware of putting subjects on the edge of the frame when @ 17mm - 25mm. You are going to get horizontal distortion, not a ton but its not flattering to those on the side. No one would ever notice this on a landscape photo but when its a person... Pretty easy to fix in post if you have a decent software. Its a great lens though!

I have limited experience shooting weddings, but it's usually best/ideal to carry two bodies, one with a wide angle and one with a zoom. So yes, if I were shooting a wedding, I would want this lens. But I would use a 70-200 more. The only real drawback is that if you're shooting inside with ambient light, the f4 maximum aperture won't perform as well as a more expensive 1.8 or 2.8. That means high ISOs, long shutter speeds, etc. Outdoors it's golden.

Yes! A wide angle lens will always be helpful when taking the group shots especially if you do not have plenty of space to back up. It is also helpful in getting those shots that capture the entire event that is taking place.

It'd better response than my Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens. No more low light hunting the images!

I would assume that it would be great for the group photos, where wide-angle is important. I have only used it for landscape photos, so far, but for weddings...why not?

Yes, I think so. We put A LOT of flowers on it and the wedding was outside near the water (not at the beach though). We had the groomsmen put it together before the wedding and it didn't blow away or anything. It's still standing outside in a garden area at my parents house and doesn't fall over. So I think it would probably be durable enough.

Yes, you could easily use it to display your wedding dress! Just be sure the height and measurements are right for what you need. Should work great!

I used it once for a wedding, and it was perfect. I used an attached flash, as the built in flash gets blocked on the widest setting. Mostly I use it for travel and scenery. Best at f8 if you want sharper edges and corners, as with most zooms. In vertical shots, the tops of trees still get a little blurry, so I have a couple of primes for critical work needing greater enlargement.

It's not THE BEST for weddings, but I shoot a lot of car images at cars shows and it's crisp and clean for that. One of the best lenses I have heard of for wedding photography is the f2.8 24-70mm. I have done some people pics, with it and they turn out nicely. Wedding pics are not my forte' though.

It should be compatible with anything because it can be triggered by on camera flash, but you can also use a trigger to fire it. I gave it a 4 out 5 stars because it beeps and you can turn that off. So it wouldn't work for me in a wedding ceremony, but great for studio and on location work with a battery.

Yes. The FPS isn't super high. It's not really high quality but it definitely does the job for backyard matches and stuff like that. So, yes. It's good for beginners.

I've used this now on several wedding assignments and didn't have any issues technically speaking. It did the job for me although I have to say that they don't give you what a dedicated macro lens would - so don't expect miracles. It also takes a bit of practice. It does allow you to focus closer and get some amazing shots. If your dealing with a high paying client, then go with a dedicated macro lens. On my part, I will continue using these until I can buy the Canon 100mm Macro - and then I'll probably still always have this in my bag.

Yes its fine for talking, we used it at our wedding so people could hear people in the gardens

It's made for outdoors - has spikes to attach for stability in the ground. It may work for your indoor wedding, but it would have to be on a flat level surface & flowers be equally distributed on both sides & top to keep it stabilized. After the wedding it is beautiful in the yard. I love mine!

Im pretty sure. I used it for my wedding photobooth background. Its not as study, but it works for the price.

Yes. There is a whole bunch of nice options there, crop, decorate. We printed pics right at our wedding and they came out great. The only set back is the ink doesn't last long, so I would stock up on that.

I would think so. I was able to use it on my home printer. We used it for wedding programs and they came out beautiful.

It can be used as spotlight for a small area but for weddings and dances, you're gonna need several of these and that should work.

Yes! It worked for me. Also it helps outdoors while. Doing weddings. It is a gray product I was looking for something like this for a long tme. Thank you again.

Quite good. If the party is of moderate size, it should be excellent. Probably not suitable for very large parties.

If you get down on all three and ask it nicely, it might.... Watch for coupons in your daily monthly newspaper... ...and best wishes on your wedding.
