But if your friend is just doing one wedding and landscape is the main purpose. I would go with the 16-35mm II hands down.


I own both, the 24-70mm and the 16-35mm II. The 16-35 puts out better results than the 24-70mm.


If I had to choose between the two for an all around lens, I would give up the range for the 16-35mm. If I were choosing for landscape it would be the 16-35mm all the way.


Wish her luck either way
