My parents are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this summer in Michigan. My father asked if I could take photos of the ceremony, celebration and family. The family shots will be outdoors with a lake as a backdrop if weather permits. Most everything else will be indoors.
My current setup:
- Nikon D-50
- Nikon Nikkor 28-80
- Sigma 70-300 DL Tele/Macro
- Nikon Speedlight SB-600
I think I have the outdoor shots covered with my current lenses. I'm considering picking up a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-50mm-Nikkor-...68?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1179972536&sr=8-2 for the indoor shots. I'm wondering if it's worth the extra money (double) to go for the Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-50mm-Nikkor-...68?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1179972536&sr=8-1. If anyone here has experience with either of these lenses, or has recommendations on other modestly priced lenses for this type of photography I'd appreciate your input.
