Are u using FX or DX?
On FX, the 14-24mm might be abit too wide as a one zoom staple lens.
On FX the 24-70mm is a great option, the 24mm covers a table shot, while the 70mm gives a little isolation.

( one of the fav for wedding photog was the 17-55mm DX lens on a DX sensor )

Different folks different strokes, u will find folks who swear by either above mentioned.

17-35. 14-24 is too wide for weddings, even on DX. But of course that depends on how you use your lenses
 

AFS17-35 will be more appropriate, another alternative is the AFS24-70
 

17-35. 14-24 is too wide for weddings, even on DX. But of course that depends on how you use your lenses

Not to mention too heavy and intimidating with that protruding large round front element... :bigeyes:
 

Old same advice:

14-24mm: have too much money, obsessed about sharpness and distortion
17-35mm: cheaper, lighter, more practical choice, can do filters

Side note: 24-70: Best for wedding(FF)
 

the 14-24 is really :thumbsup:.

probably you should try using one before deciding.

extremely sharp. no issues shooting at f/2.8 during a ballroom function.

bad thing is the weight, as well as the huge front element (cannot attach filter).
 

Thank you all for your comments.. i really appreciate it.. i think i'm going to choose 14-24mm.. :)
one of my great photography mentor use 17-35mm.. that's why i'm confuse.. should i follow his step or buy 14-24..

anyway.. Thanks!
