If you had to choose one 4/3 lens for wedding photography, which one would it be?

Dec 24, 2011

I'm trying to decide between the 12-60mm, or the 14-35 F/2.0. Maybe there's another choice? This is primarily for "casual" wedding photography - I just want the photos to turn out a bit better than they did with my 18-180 lens (I know, I know, bad choice) at the last wedding. Quite a few of the photos came out pretty well, but I did experienced problems with noisy pictures and slow-focus in low light as the festivities continued into the evening.

The 14-35 lens has wider aperture capability (1 and 2/3 stops over the 18-180 at its best, which should make more useful in low light), but doesn't have the reach of the 12-60 lens (which only provides a 2/3 stop advantage over the 18-180). The 14-35 however is also quite a bit more expensive, and may be a bit much for just casual use.

The camera is an E620, if that helps.
