Re: Deliberating on kit for event and portraiture. 16-55, or others?

That's good to hear. Heaviness was a slight concern, but as it has very similar weight to the 24-105 which I've used in the past, I should be able to handle it.

Regarding flashes, I suppose I should get a few in case I need them. I personally dislike the artificial look they create, but in some particularly dark venues I could see them being particularly useful.

How do you find hand-holding the 16-55 in dark conditions? I find that anything less than 1/125th often causes motion blur in people (thus why I don't prioritise stabilization), but I've only used stabilised zooms in the past.
