My first time posting here in many years... I've recently started up with wedding photography again and my gear is a bit all over the place!
So my main lens, a Canon 24-70 f/2.8L MK I appears to have died a death today. The aperture blades are stuck and from what I've read, this lens is prone to a snapped ribbon cable - so I'm guessing that's what's happened here.
I will try and get the lens repaired at some point (if it's financially worth it), but in the meantime I have a couple of weddings coming up so I'll need a replacement. Other than the obvious choice of the 24-70 f/2.8L MKII, can anyone recommend a similar performing lens that might suit? The other 2 lenses in my bag currently are a Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art and Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS. Main camera is a 5D MK IV.
I also have a Fujifilm XT1 as my 'back-up' camera, which I was planning to pair with a 56mm f/1.2 until my 24-70 snuffed it! For now it has a 18-55mm kit lens.
Any recommendations welcome! Thanks
