I would love to see a picture of your crew fully deck out with all your equipment on!

I think MyKey just put the rest of us to shame. Way to go, Mike--I officially label you "Canon USA's favorite wedding shooter"! Fran is their favorite portrait shooter, so you have company here on TPF...

Well, I took pictures at a friends wedding over the summer(behind the scenes, walking around, not hired pro) and used my Nikon D50, Sigma, 18-50mm f2.8(non macro), and a SB800. There are times when I wish I had a longer lens but this combination resulted in many great pictures.
