I am just starting with professional equipment and I'm thinking of the canon 5d but I have no clue what lens I should use as my most versitile "stand by" lens...I will be shooting indoors in low light and groups of people outdoors (weddings). I am also considering the Nikon D300. Any advice would help!
Assuming you get a kit lens, say 18-55mm bundled with the body I would suggest a 70-200mm L series zoom.
(there are two versions in the L series, a lightweight one,at f4 and the good one at f2.8)
I have seen this used by one of the local press photographers for portraits and a a fashion display on the catwalk.
Another photographer uses a Nikon 70-200m for weddings, I can't remember the maximum aperture but it is large as you would expect from pro quality lenses.
This class of lens allows good close up shots during a ceremony without you intruding, and their larger aperturea are good for auto focus and exposure in low light conditions.
Both come with shake reduction built into the lenses, pushing up the price a bit, but handy as Nikon and Canon do not have shake reduction built into the camera body.
