Personally, I think something in the range of a 24-90 would be a better
wedding lens, but it would really need to be a constant aperture to keep the
backgrounds from going all weird.
Yah okay, 2 bodies, 70-200 and 24-90 or similar.
Ideal setup for a snazzy wedding would be formals on 5X4 with a posh
smudger and a paparazzi for candids.
YMMV
Cheers,
