It's worth thinking about and practicing, if only because you've already got the video camera built into your Mk II. For a little more time with your clients you could make a lot more money, and judging from Vimeo and the advent of the DSLR that shoots video it's going to become de rigeur for weddings. The new wedding album, if you will. It's worth it to learn all aspects of your camera, if only to make more money. Oh, and judging from your pic on this site, I'm assuming the model for these pics was your sis. Strong resemblance. Good luck with your biz!

I'm not planning to do videography, as I don't have the video skills (equipment outside the 5d either) or confidence. I think branching out in that way without multiple employees would put a serious strain on my business. The 5d mkII does take some amazing video though! Today I saw someone's 50mm 1.4 fail due to autofocus problems. Mine has been fine so far (and one of my favorites!) but it's only 6 months old, so we'll see... Hi again, Todd!

I actually shoot on a 5d Mark II as well. Have you ever thought of also doing wedding videos for your clients? I see a lot of those on Vimeo and they look incredible, especially with a little bit of grading using Magic Bullet Looks. I use the 50mm 1.8 but have considered upgrading to the 1.4, but I heard after a year of use something on the 1.4 breaks, usually the autofocus. Wonder if you've had that issue too.

Todd, I use a Canon 5d MarkII with a 20D for backup, and my stock lenses are the 70-200mm 2.8L, 50mm 1.4, 24-70mm 2.8L, and 100mm 2.8 macro. All the boudoir shots were taken with the 50mm 1.4 lens. For $350, it's a great buy. Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you. :) Thanks Claire and Todd!
