I agree, you want something wide and you want something long.

You have 2 bodies and 1 lens? I know we always harp on having 2 bodies, but this seems a bit extreme.

I agree with all the posts above. @ bodies and one lens must be the first time I have come across a kit list like that :-)

I guess you are setting out and planning to build up kit. If I were in that situation and could only hire one lens, I think I would opt for the 24-70. What about flash? Why not discuss this with the prime shooter - he may be after an alternative type of coverage i.e get the 70-200 on and pick off individual faces etc while he does the other stuff? You should be working together as a team not as two seperate togs.

Talk to the person who hired you as a second shooter to see what you need.

This is probably the best advice in this thread.
