Re: Go-to lenses for event photography

All I do is corporate event work.  And do it full time.  I use the 16-55 2.8 and the 50-140 2.8.  Like weddings, things happen pretty fast so I don't use primes.  I also use a Godox V1 flash. I's highly recommend having some type fo flash just in case.

Don't be afraid of high ISO.  Remember, this is an event.  It's not a fine portrait.  Which I also do.  However, NONE of the event photos will ever go larger than an 8x10.  And probably mostly viewed on someone's phone.  At that size, you won't even see noise.

I shoot at ISO 3200 and 6400 all the time with very high end clients.  Not one had ever complained about quality.
