2nd Shooter Wedding Kit - Half Crop'ser Style

So I'm getting close to enough as far as skill set to be a 2nd shooter (according to the photographer I'm working with). So now I'm looking to expand my gear a little since I don't have full range yet of coverage. I typically cover more of the detail shots, candid shots, and last would probably be portraits (for now). Below is my current gear and what I'm thinking to get. I don't have to worry about 'backup gear' since the photographer I work with carries 2 extra bodies.

Currently Have
60D
Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5
Canon 17-85mm f/4-5.6
Canon 50mm f/1.4

THE Plan
430EX
Yongnuo Triggers
Light Stand
Umbrella Mount
60" Translucent Umbrella
Sell the 17-85 and get the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 (non-VC)

Then currently looking at...
Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8
Tokina 50-135mm f/2.8
Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8
(No way I can afford the Canon version of the 70-200mm right now)

Maybe looking at the 60mm f/2.8 or the 100mm Macro

Suggestions? Thoughts? Bad Jokes of the Day?

Not commenting on wedding side per se. I have the tokina 50-135 and find it great. The non L 100mm macro also is great. From doing a few chritenings and taking a few wedding shots a faster standard zoom would be handy also (similar to the efs 17-55mm f2.8)

Ya, I think I may have to skip on the Tokina and Sigma tele's since they have no version of IS.... They seem like good lens though, just not for what I need to use them for.

The sigma 70-200 OS has stabilization, and is reviewed pretty well.

Also, I believe it's on sale for $999, which is a steal compared to it's usual price. Good value, IMO

check the 'market watch' thread for this deal^^

with the 10-22, you might as well look into 24-xxx EF 2.8 zooms and should generally stick with EF 2.8 zooms. EF lenses will work with the backup FF or Crop bodies, where EF-s type lenses will only work with crop bodies, something to consider.

sigma and tamron both have 70-200F2.8 stabilized versions. Really cant go wrong with either.

Hmm sigma might work, but kinda hard to find a used OS version.

uhhhhhh that's NEW price, and it's pretty damn close to historical used prices. Check out B&H / adorama.

I would consider a more powerful flash for bounce use or go for cheap Yongnuo flash for your umbrella, etc.

Replacing the 17-85 with a f/2.8 constant zoom would be high on my list. The 17-85 IS is a pretty old lens.

I was looking at the yn-560 II for a flash but apparently there's no way of securing the flash to the hot shoe.

??

The 560s are manual, you'd be better off with the 568.

the YN560 fits on a hot shoe like any (and all) other flashes

But like the other poster said the 560 is a manual flash, for weddings and events you will need an ETTL flash, e.g. Canon 430exII, Yongnuo YN565ex, YN468, etc.
