Steve and Nick are running on empty through a busy wedding season! In this show they look at their respective collection of Sony fit lenses. Do we really need that F1.4 aperture? And what else do they look for when choosing and using Sony lenses. The guys also look at their back up strategies for wedding raw files, do we have a blind spot in our workflow? And, at what stage do we break out the flash gear at a wedding, if at all?
