Ive got a wedding gig next weekend and my primes just arent gonna cut it. I just picked up an S5 and I am basically broke now so my budget is strictly under $600.

I looked at the Sigma 28-70mm f2.8 since everyone says its the budget king but I am worried 28mm wont be wide enough for the tiny chapel. Then there is the 20-60mm kit lens which is super cheap but is f3.5-5.6 gonna be a disaster in low light? I am torn between the aperture and the width. Is there another budget zoom I missed? I gotta order tonight to get it in time...

I was in the exact same spot last year for a tiny chapel wedding! I grabbed the kit zoom because I desperately needed that extra width for the altar shots and it was honestly amazing.

  • Low light was manageable with high ISO
  • Wide angle saved me in those tight aisles
  • Saved cash for lighting later That wide end is way more important than people think when you are stuck in a corner!
