Yes , that did occur to me- I'm a bit concerned about the lens not being fast enough without ramping up the ISO though.

Hi chap,
My son was recently married in church, so have been viewing the professionals pics to get clues re positioning myself when in similar situations. Might be worth taking a quick look at some wedding galleries.
I think I would use the 35 and 50, and be prepared to crouch,kneel as the subjects are small.
Make sure you take a few of the person who invited you to take the pics...maybe not with her mouth open when singing, instead when smiling at the kids at a moment you can anticipate.
It might be worth thinking about the order of service so that you can be in the right place at the right time.
Hopefully not a suck eggs lecture, but your post made me consider what I might do, and sources of disappointment. I think anticipation and thought as to where and what the kids will be doing, so that you can get the pics is key.
Have fun
Nigel

Cheers chaps, you've got me thinking on the right lines. I'll let you know how I get on, fingers crossed- if nothing else I'm sure the K5s low light performance will be my saviour.

Starting Sunday with a harvest festival in a rather gloomy church.
I am thinking of taking the DA35mm 2.4, FA 50mm 1.4 and 50-135 2.8 all for the low light capabilites (on K5). Flash maybe an option at the end of the service but not during
I would appreciate any advice that you could give- I have done some low light shots before and they were okay, but the combination of low light , 60 odd kids and a full church makes me a bit queasy. On the plus side I probably only need 3 or 4 useable shots.
