Wouldn't 24-70 (really 36 on DX) be enough for full body and group shots? It worked with my 50mm in a not so ideal room. The 17-55 is at 2.8 which is good but at such wide angles, it's not going to produce any noticeable bokeh. Since I use flash, it would help the lack of light a slow lens can capture. Or am I wrong? This is why I don't understand lenses like the 14-24 2.8 which is for landscapes I would assume. Why would someone spend so much on a fast lens if they shoot wide angle? If I were shooting landscapes, a 3.5 lens would do me fine on a tripod and if I have a lack of light, I just slow my shutter speed down. The price differences are huge.</blockquote>
