Thanks for the reply William! I do not have access to the Pro Posing Database since I am not a pro member of Lenspiration. I will have to give the pro membership anther look : )
Hi Gabriel!
I went through this same process with the 24-70 f2.8 just a month ago (except I bought it for a family photo shoot not a wedding). The 24-70 f2.8 is my favorite portrait lens that I own and is almost constantly on my camera. As a small side note, it is heavy, Really heavy! For me this is not a huge deal, as I like heavy lens and cameras. Just a thought for you to consider.
Anyway, back to your original question. : ) I bought my 24-70 f2.8 from MPB.com (for $704), who had it priced lower than anything I could find on ebay. It was listed as in good condition, but after examining it I would have listed it as in mint condition! However, after doing a quick search today on MPB’s website, it looks like they are sold out. They do have a Tamron 24-70 f2.8 ($869) and the newer VR version of the nikon 24-70 f2.8 ($1,200). If you are willing to wait a week or two and see if MPB gets anther 24-70, I think they would be a great option. If you really need to step on it however, I would try to find something on ebay.
Good luck and hope this helped!

P.S. Here is a photos of what the 24-70 looks like on my old D5000.
P.P.S. And congrats on getting to shoot a wedding!Attachments:
Thank you for the reminder @buddingphotographer! It’s easy to become discontent with the camera you have and want something “better”. But that’s just it, no matter what you have there will alway be something better.
Thank you for the advice @hayhand02! With your Nikon D7100, how high can you take the ISO and still achieve good quality results?
@nasa, thank you for the very in depth answers, especially answer two! Are there any resources where I can learn more about analogue-digital conversion, and analogue gain? Here are two more questions I have. : )1: What ISO range would you consider adequate in a full-frame camera?
2: I’ve been looking at the Nikon D610, and if I went full-frame I think that’s what I would buy. However I’m slightly hesitant because it’s top shutter speed is 1/4000. Should I be worried about that? The fastest subject I shoot is songbirds, and I’ve never needed more than a 1/2500 to a 1/4000. But is it better to have the extra shutter speed?
Thank you for bringing up lenses @dfrazer! I currently have one FX lens and two DX lens. I know that some FX cameras can automatically crop photos taken with a DX lens, but that’s going to decrease your image quality and restrict the size of your prints. But can you get away with it? Have you experimented with this at all?
Thanks Lydia!
I didn’t notice that the pavement line cut right though her neck before, thats defiantly something I will look out for in the future. And now that you mention it I really don’t like the lack of depth. The picture probably seems blurry because I downsized it more then then I needed to. oops!
