Best canon lens for wedding photography? 24-70mm f2.8

[coastalkid88]

To put this simply these are both very good lenses the difference is That the 24-70L. Is a pro series lens its fully weather sealed. Made Metal and quite heavy I would say it also slightly out proforms the 17-55 optically. On the other hand the 17-55 is an efs lens so it not compatable with and film or pro series cameras. Also It is a good quailiy lens but its plastic not weather sealed and is made more for consumer used than professional use. A good note for the most part L series lenses are, but not always better at taking pictures but it will always hold up beter in the long run. One of my 24-70 2.8 is now five years old and my 28-135 is which I bought before my 24-70 broke within 2 years of professional use the build quality is just better. I hope this explains the difference Thanks. Coastal Kid

in my experience, the 24-105L is alot more versatile. it gives the extra distance, and is mush more sharp than the 24-70L. I have the 24-70L on a 5DmkII, but with all the events that we shoot, the 24-105L is the first to come out of the bag.


IMO, the 24-70L is great in low light, but I wish it would be a littler more sharp.
