Thank you for sharing your experience.

I can see how the lens can be interesting as a do it all for wedding and such events.

On the other side personally I really would not like to have a 1,4 kg as a standard lens for a whole evening.

I would rather "live" with f2.8, and occasionally switch to a faster prime (if necessary).

The 28-70/2.0 weights 300 g more than the 70-200/2.8! The size/weight of the 24-70/2.8 is the maximum weight I would want to have in such a medium range standard lens.

IMO it is really  specialty lens. I understand some people love the 2870/2.0 and I can see the appeal (to have28/35/50/70 "primes" in one lens).
