Which is the Best Canon Wedding Lens?

Choosing the Best Canon Wedding Lens for your DSLR camera can be a somewhat daunting task as there are quite a few different opinions and variables to take into account. However, it doesn’t have to be such a difficult decision, if you take a few simple factors into account.

To select the best wedding lens suitable for you, first you need to determine whether you are willing to spend more than a $1000 on a professional L-Series Canon Lens. The best Canon Wedding Lenses are all above the $1000 mark, but fortunately there are cheaper options available, such as the Canon EFS 17-85mm F4-5.6 IS zoom lens, which can only be used on the APS-C sensor Canon Cameras such as the Rebel series. Just above the $1000 mark, a wide range of brilliant lenses become available, such as the 24-70mm F2.8 L and which is the most popular Canon wedding lens by far.

Another factor to take into account is whether you will be using a single camera or more than one camera for the wedding. Many photographers use two camera bodies instead of swapping lenses all the time. Other photographers prefer to use one body and a single lens for the entire wedding. For a single lens solution, the Canon 24-105mm F4 IS offers a wide angle to mid range zoom functionality which should cover most of the wedding photography focal range requirements. Other photographers use two bodies (or two photographers) and therefor prefer a combination of lenses. In this case a combination of the 24-70mm F2.8 and the 70-200mm F2.8 IS provides the perfect solution.

A few photographers prefer fixed lens solutions, which, provide better image quality, but limits flexibility – and therefore has an impact on the style of the photographer. Fixed lens fans prefer the 24mm F1.4 L, 50mm F1.2 L, 85mm F1.2 L and the 135mm F2.0 L or any combination of these. These lenses are often used by professionals with many years of experience who have developed a specific style of wedding photography.

The best canon wedding lens for you mainly depends on your budget, the flexibility you require, and the style of wedding photography you are after. The one lens that performs well as an overall wedding lens is the Canon 24-70mm F2.8 L, with the new 24-105mm F4.0 L as a strong contender, but if you are still not sure, read reviews of all the options before you purchase.
