Sounds like you and your wife are doing a great job, Brian. Good for
you.

several DSLRs.
The whole idea is that you must deliver to the customer, which means
backup
for two photographers, on hand at all times, which means at least four
cameras for the two of us just to get moving. My wife uses two in the
church
balcony, one wide and one telephoto, which means she can grab anything
that
moves without changing lenses. I have two on hand for the
processional, one
with double lighting, and a third at the back on a tripod so I don't
have to
tear down the flash brackets to start ambient light coverage ( the
flash and
bracket is just extra weight pulling on the tripod head unless you
take it
apart or use another camera. )
Imagine how much four or five of today's top of the line DSLRs would
cost.
I'm simply using yesterday's instead. Many great weddings have been
covered
with the same stuff.
I could cover the entire thing with a single K1000 and one lens, and
do a nice
job, too. Plenty of people have done so for many decades.

Thanks to all for the ideas of trying continuous focus, or using the
OK button
to activate auto focus.
