frogfish Posted November 26, 2012 Share #61 Posted November 26, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, nice treat, lots of talented wedding photogs here. I am a professional wedding photographer and use the M9 as my main body, used mainly with the 35 Summilux FLE. Great combo, as you know, and I use it for about 70% of my shots. I accompany it with a Nikon D700 together with an 85/1.4 D (mainly because of better framing with a portrait lens and fast AF). So that is all I need for a whole wedding. Sometimes I´ll take a 50mm lens as well and I have back ups in the car, but I rarely use any other lens then mentioned. Here an overall impression: destination wedding photographer – Hamburg – Berlin – Australia – Worldwide and here a wedding, shot with this combo: gipsy-circus-love, a theme wedding in Lüneburg and here my pimped M9: The Leica M9 for wedding photography heiko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ru2far2c Posted November 27, 2012 Share #63 Posted November 27, 2012 Hello, I've had my M9 for just over a year now together with 35 Cron and 50 Lux, no great issues and all well and love using. My genre is portraiture and am getting into weddings now and to this end, use my 5dII wit 135L lense for longer shots. I'm just wanting to know if anyone can advise on similar but possibly better combinations without too many lens changes...no zoom lenses for the Canon please! www.jamesbarryphotography.com Two bodies 24 on one and 50 on the other or 35, 85 combo. aperture opening is your choice.

Jamie Roberts Posted November 27, 2012 Share #64 Posted November 27, 2012 I'd get the Canon 85mm/1.2... you can make the ugliest bride look beautiful with that thing. Seriously. Was just going to say, Rick, 90% of all my weddings are shot with a 35 (Leica) and an 80 (Leica) / 85 1.2L Canon (or the 85 1.4 Nikon when I was shooting that). Add an occasional wide and occasional 50 and that's about got it! And yes--the 85 1.2L is a great lens! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that all mostly with the 35mm? There were some wide shots there in particular the one where everyone was in the woods walking towards the ceremony where the shallow depth of field in the background was quite beautiful, I assumed it was a 50mm shot.

Lax Jought Posted November 27, 2012 Share #66 Posted November 27, 2012 Here a shot taken at a bridal portrait session. M9 and the 35 Summilux FLE. 1.4 at ISO 800. Even this photo, very beautiful 35mm shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfish Posted November 27, 2012 Share #67 Posted November 27, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Lax, thank you for your kind comments. The shot you are referring to was done with the Nikon 85/1.4 D. Yes, like the bokeh, too. All WA images were taken with the 35 FLE execpt the two men from behind in heavy rain, this was with my heavy-rainstorm back-up camera. (Lumix GF1 with 28mm equivalent and optival viewfinder) have a nice day, heiko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobeyone Posted November 27, 2012 Share #68 Posted November 27, 2012 Can we include the M8? ;O) L1013584 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Welcome, dear visitor!

Lax Jought Posted November 27, 2012 Share #69 Posted November 27, 2012 The shot you are referring to was done with the Nikon 85/1.4 D. Yes, like the bokeh, too. ah, that's why I thought it must've been a 50mm at least, the shallow depth of field seemed quite shallow for 35mm especially at that distance. It's a great photo. The one you posted with the girl taken with the 35mm might have convinced me to try the 35mm. I've been using only the 50mm equivalent on my M8.2. Modeyone - good to see the M8 make an appearance as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Seeney Posted November 27, 2012 Share #70 Posted November 27, 2012 I shot recently with a 21mm and 35mm cron, got in close rather than zooming, hard work but more satisfying - plenty of photos on my blog - particularly pleased with the ceremony shots Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
haroldp Posted November 28, 2012 Share #71 Posted November 28, 2012 When I was an active wedding photographer in the film days (2-3 per week), while I normally shot medium format negative film, on those occasions where the customers wanted slides, I would use my M2 with a 35mm lens, and always pleased the customer (and myself) .

jgbossert Posted November 29, 2012 Share #72 Posted November 29, 2012 This summer I did 5 wedding with M9 and a Nikon d7000 for back up. Mostly used 35 luxand 50 lux. This one looks quiet wide. Is it really just 35, or more 28 or wider? I ask, because I never used anything wider than 35 on a rangefinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
