I've been shooting a lot of weddings this year and have done most of my work on a Canon 40D using a 24-105. Consistently, I've been getting soft images and read some articles that say the 40D is notorious for soft images. This weekend, I rented a 24-70 2.8 to see if that helps.
I started thinking - if using a 2.8 f stop softens images and the 40D softens images - there's really no point. I'll be honest, while I feel I have a good understanding of shutters, apertures, etc. I'm still feeling around for sweet spots and not quite getting a harmonious blend of sharp images in low light. This past wedding, I spent most of the night around 5.6-8 (on the 24-70) using flash and 400 ISO. If that's the case, then there seems no point in using a 2.8 lens. I don't want to go too grainy and 400 seems to be my limit.
What am I missing? Help?
