Don't know about shooting weddings, but most of the folks I know and
hire who make their living's at it may use manual stuff in the studio
under controlled lighting conditions (they also may not... lots of
Rollei SLR MF gear gaining popularity out there) but they mostly use
AF/AE 35 mm stuff for their location work unless it's coffee table
shoots or full crew corporate with full light, reflectors, scrims, etc.
