I am looking at getting one more lens.

My budget is £400

I am doing weddings and studio photography.

My current kit is:

50mm f.1.4
28-105 f.4-5.6
70-300 f4-5.6
18-55 f3.5-5.6

What lens would you add to my kit.?

Thanks
Gary
 
Sigma 105 Macro. Macro is a real challenge and addictive.

Also great for the table setting and shoe shots at weddings. Works very well as a product lens as it has just about no distortion.

Just a heads up but do you have a 2nd body? I would get another body before another lens for weddings.
 
I'd say you need faster lenses for weddings. The combination of a 70-200mm f/2.8 on one body and a 17-55mm f/2.8 or 24-70mm f/2.8 on the other seems to be very popular. They're outside your budget now if you want to buy Canon, but you might want to think about your long-term strategy and let that influence your short-term buying decisions.
 
... a 70-200mm f/2.8
I thought of that when I read this thread earlier. Selling the 70-300mm IS would help the budget & I don't see the benefit of the extra reach for weddings. f/4-f/5.6 would seem to be a problem.

Stroller.
 
I would add either a 24-70 or a 17-50 F2.8 lens and move your 28-105 along.
You will need the F2.8 and you could really do with a good standard lens.
