>>192514 Don't think of it with colors.
The shittiest lenses come in both ringless (nifty fifty, which has shit build quality but great optics, old film kit lenses) and silver ringed (new kit lenses) versions.
A gold ring indicates the presence of a USM focusing motor. This generally means build quality is improved (70-300IS, 17-55IS), but then the optics of the lens could actually be shit (28-135IS)
A green ring is for Diffractive Optics technology, which allows long focal length lenses to be made in much smaller and lighter packages. There are only what, two? But both are awesome.
And then red rings are L lenses, which stood for Luxury in the past but I don't think they call them that now. Top build quality, and top optics.
Disclaimer for next part: I have never shot a wedding but I've done a fair bit of reading up on them.
>>192520 Uh every wedding shooter has two or more bodies. If your one body dies then you're fucked. Also you don't want to miss a moment changing lenses, and the lens you've chosen sucks. I suppose your decent lighting setup should make up for that a little, but shooting with only a 28-200 will leave you pretty tight on the wide end, making it hard to do group shots. You also don't want to be using a flash during intimate stuff like ring exchanges and first kisses and whatnot, and that's when the slow speed of your lens will really make you suffer.
Since you already have two bodies, maybe you could go for a two fast lens setup and go offbrand to save cash. Tamron 17-50/2.8 and Tamron/Sigma 70-200/2.8 shouldn't break the bank.
