Yes of course! There's no need to fix what isn't broken. I only use 2 lenses now for pretty much everything. 35 1.4 LII + SIgma 85 1.4 EX HSM. I also have the Tamron 15-30 2.8 VC but that doesn't get used so much now.

... Continued How far you take it is all down to you. one thing is that your clients will no doubt like whatever you output and give them. It's up to you to be your own self critique and use each wedding as a lesson in how to improve the next one. You never stop learning and the...

Firstly congrats and you will have a ball for sure :) I wouldn't delegate the 50 1.8 to just "if needed" status, personally I find the primes give the most intimate portraits, especially important for weddings where expressions and emotions run strong and a fast prime just makes those details...

I wouldn't exactly attribute looking like a pro camera by adding a grip as a plus. Those who know will know a mile off and those who don't aren't going to be worth trying to impress anyway. Personally I disliked the grip on 5D3, I liked the grip on all other EOS bodies I've used and owned...

I have various from 60" glass framed sunrise over sea to urbex and portraiture with more to come. I would rather hang my own work which people comment on than buy off the shelf work that someone else also has in their home.

Security can never be sure really, it's manly based on if they find tools on you that could be used to break open etc. If you're in there with just camera gear it's obvious what you're there for really :p A select few give everyone else a bad name sadly. Been cave/abandoned mine exploring...

Liverpool has areas nearby that are worth exploring I think, we've not ventured up that way yet :) It's a great hobby and good exercise as well. The only downside is visiting a place and finding it trashed by chavs and junkies :/ There are some dodgy explorers as well, in the past certain...

It seems like you need more time to learn what this lens is all about. What other fast primes have you got in your kit? Improve subject matter and be critical about what available light you shoot in, if it's not good light then experiment anyway but after you develop your own self critique...

Thank you :) A return trip around the EU is planned for September time, we shall see :) Think loos ;)

Have a look around your local urbex community blogs and sites as no doubt many will have explored the places you have seen in one way or another. That's how we started out and it kind of became a thing and we just go off on our own with a bit of research armed with cameras :)
