24-70 2.8. That may change soon because i feel happy with how the 5DM3 tames the 50L and i just got a 24 F1.4 so two bodies two lengths, less convenient, yes, more stunning images with shallow DOF, definitely. Does that mean i dont like the 24-70, not at all friggen love it, but i am going for a more standout look now. 24-70 was 80+ % of all my shots, if i exclude sports of course. During weddings I don't want to be switching out lenses all the time, i have been down that road. At one point i had the 135 F2, 35 F1.4, 85 F1.2, 24-70, 70-200. When I got the 70-200 i got rid of the 135. Now with the 70-200 vII, I can pretty much say it is pretty much as sharp as the 135 F2 ever was at the same focal length. Anyway, i had all these lenses and i was switching things out a lot and it got to become ridiculous for wasting time, I needed to focus on shooting the wedding as it happened else i missed stuff when switching. I have since become way more efficient of course and the 24-70 was on my 1dm3 all the time while the 70-200 was on my 5d alot. The reason was i wanted to be able to use other focus points with movement and something as simple as the bride and groom walking down the aisle the 5d focus system was a major compromise.
All this said, i am trying the prime thing out again but now i have a third body I will switch things up when the needs change with a wedding. If it doesn't work as expected i know i can rely on the 24-70.
