azngurlie78 asked:

If you had to name 3 lenses that are essential for wedding and portrait photography, which ones would they be? I know there are many that make the job and work turn out better, but which three are must haves? Please give focal length and max apertures.

    Please click on the pencil icon and “add details” to tell us what kind of camera you are using. At least tell us if it is film or digital. Thanks.

    For 35mm cameras 28mm 50mm 105mm max apetures as you can afford for portraiture stick to the 105mm or 1350.

    Personally I would use 2 Bodies: One with a wide to short-tele lens and a short-tele to long tele

    I would get this set up-
    24-105mm f/4L
    70-200mm f/2.8
    50mm f/1.2L
