Lens Rental Recommendation

[ams2d]

I am going to be taking pictures at a 50th birthday party. It's for family but I wanted to make certain I have a decent lens to capture it.

I will be using T2i and I have a Speedlite 430EX II. Lens I do have that I think I could use are a Canon 40 panacake; Canon 50 1.8; Sigma 18-250 DC HSM; I also have a Canon 100L but don't think that would be of much use for this situation.

I was thinking of renting a Canon 24-70 2.8 but I am not certain if that is the best lens I should rent.

Rent the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8. Try pics with and without the flash (with is ok if there are relatively low white ceilings for bouncing).

Is this a good place to lament the absence of a fast, wide angle prime for APS-C?

Thank you for the recommendation.

I used to use Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 for my 7D. For me, this is a L lens without red ring.
