The holy trinity is overrated; I want to see more lightweight f/2.8 telephoto zooms in 2025

Future.

Let’s get married! That’s certainly one of life’s biggest propositions, but I’m thinking more about wedding photography. Actually, that’s also a big proposition – and a big responsibility. I know some professional wedding photographers who shoot the whole event almost entirely with a fast 50mm prime lens, but another staple of the big day is a 70-200mm f/2.8 ‘trinity’ zoom – and with good reason.

In the past, I’ve shot a few weddings and other events in a professional capacity. Nowadays, I get asked to take unofficial, additional shots at the weddings of family and friends, which I count as a huge privilege. Either way, a 70-200mm f/2.8 is perfect for covering the distance without being intrusive, while enabling me to isolate subjects with a tight depth of field.
