Hello! I am an event/wedding photographer and deciding which lens will be more critical as my budget will only allow me to buy either one of the lens at this time. The 35/1.4 will be a great addition to my arsenal as you see my current setup doesn't have anything larger than 2.8 aperture. I could see myself using the 35/1.4 wide open in an indoor situation with the bride and also some portraits. On the other hand, 24-70/2.8 surely gives me the range but it doesn't provide the same degree of 3D pop, bokeh as the 35 when doing portraiture. Would like to hear your comments and suggestions.
My current gear: 6D, 40/2.8, 24-105/4, 70-200 2.8 II.
IMO this is a decision only you can make as it will be defining to your style as a wedding photographer. Some will say that the 24-70 is a must for a wedding photographer. That may be true for some but there are some who do weddings without it. On the other hand, the 24-70 is going to be sharper and provide a little more subject isolation than your 24-105, but the 35l II will have a look that your 24-105 simply can't do. Tough decision.
Yes it's truly a tough decision. Frankly I could get it done with my current 24-105/4 but as you said it doesn't give you that kind of sharpness as compared to the 24-70. So I am leaning towards to the 35 1.4 II but I am not 100% decided yet and would like to hear more from you guys.
