I think it is safe to say that the original poster knew how to use the
lens properly.

Speaking of disinformation... your film suggestions are quite frankly off
the mark. 200 speed films tend to fare poorly in comparison with their
400 speed brethren, and consumer films invariably have too much contrasts
for weddings. A better suggestion would be a 400 speed professional Kodak
or Fuji film, such as NPH, rated at maybe 200 and not pulled.
