Try shooting the wedding from a different perspective; photojournalist,
story-teller, magazine article. Do not emmulate the color, flash on camera
Nikon shooters you are backing up. Try shooting TMAX 3200 at 1600 to 3200
developed in TMAX developer for an extra stop so that you get more details in
the shadows. The versatile 35 and 90 lenses will give you good framing
opportunities if you remember one rule-force yourself to move in close and
fill your frame! Don't be a wallflower; Leicas are made to be as unobtrusive
as possible (quiet, rangefinder focus, & small). Good luck!
