Re: Lense Recommendation
Hi All, This is my first time posting. I just let pentax and moved to a nikon d700 for weddings. I'm looking at starting with a 24-70 2.8.

Re: Lense Recommendation
Jeff the 24-70 f2.8L is the bomb. It focuses super fast in low light and the range is perfect for a ff body. 24mm gives a little WA distortion and you can play with it by putting your subject in the corner and aiming off access. 70mm is just enough compression to de-accentuate noses and other projections on a head shot…
