[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 142993, member: 4399"] While the general population wouldn't even know what bokeh or background blur is, it would be important to me to produce it. I really think a wedding deserves the isolation and pleasing background fast glass would produce. Not that you couldn't produce good wedding shots with the 24-85 or 24-120, but a good pro, one who pushes the limits of his gear, will probably get better results with a 24-70 2.8. Not that many would even know the difference, but I would. I suggested the 24-70 somewhat in jest in response to the instant pro implication of the OP. Personally, I would buy a 50mm1.8g for the D800 now and save for "great" glass later instead of "good" glass now. But.., we all have our own ways of getting there :) [/QUOTE]
