Canon XSi digital camera Lenses for Wedding Photography?

There is no perfect answer to this question. However, here are some suggestions: For the XSi, the most convenient lens is a zoom with 17mm or 18mm focal length at the wide end of the zoom range (equivalent to around 28mm focal length for full frame 35mm camera). For nice single or couple portraits, a lens around 60-70mm gives good perspective. One of the best lenses that will cover this range is the Canon EF-S 17-85mm IS lens. The IS stands for internal stabilization, which stabilizes the image when you are hand-holding the camera and not using flash. If you want more telephoto than 85mm, Canon has recently released the 18-200mm IS lens that should also be excellent for weddings.
