Have you shot a wedding with MF? It is painfully slow, involves more
extensive posing and a tripod. In the 1990's there was a revolution in
what
people expected of a wedding photographers- fine grained 400 speed colour
film, and very fine grained 100 and 160 speed films, allowed prints to
8x10
that were very close to MF, as far as most people could tell. People
wanted
wedding photographs like they saw in magazines- a re****tage style. People
didn't want their wedding day ruined by posing for hours, completely
breaking the mood of the occasion.
Medium format has a place for group photos, but more memorable shots have
been captured at weddings on 35mm for two decades. Digital is here now,
and
offers more flexibility and speed than 35mm, and with the quality of MF.
And, returning to the topic, wedding photographers on digital are using
super-wides. Even wider than ever. Nikon has a full frame 14-24mm f2.8
lens.
There is definitely a demand and need for super-wides at weddings and
other
social photography.
