Wedding ring shots?

My suggestion would be to try with your existing lenses (I'd try 70-200 first) and a couple of rings ASAP.

Having said that if they are the only 3 lenses you would have, it might be better to have a spare portrait length lens in case something happens to your 70-200 on the day.

I agree with you on the rings. But a 35 is a lovely wedding lens for the other stuff

If something happens to the 70-200 i'll just shoot soley with the 35L :) I'm doing it for free so I'm not in a financial position to buy back up lenses.

I'll give it a go with the 70-200 tonight and see what i can get
 
Pop a close-up lens on the 70-200, probably +1 will be enough, maybe +2. Good range of magnifcations and shooting distances with the zoom.

Slips in your shirt pocket, easy peezee. Standard issue for weddings togs ;)

ooh sounds interesting. Don't think I've seen these, What should I be looking for? Canon ones or are there any good third party ones? Also what affect do they have on image quality?

Canon do one, +2 diopters known as the 500D. It's a top quality doublet, but silly expensive at £120 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0000C4G...de=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B0000C4G6O

I use a Hoya +1 for that kind of thing. It's a singlet as most of them are, and perfectly good enough - they're always sharp in the centre at least and the rest of the image will be out of focus anyway. A decent coated Hoya or B+W is £30-ish.

I guess you should have a set of tubes anyway, so if you want to spent £120 on a set of Kenkos that will cover you for everything right down to 1:1 on the 70-200. That's what I use for macro (sold my two macro lenses) and quality on my 70-200L 4 IS is very good, as it will obviously be on your lens.

But tubes are a fiddle in that kind of situation and a close-up 'filter' is just so handy. I'm certain the quality will be fine, and for £30 you can't go far wrong. Here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hoya-77mm-C...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311781544&sr=1-4
