I'm thinking of renting a 70-200mm for my sisters wedding (thankfully I'm not doing the pics, they have a pro), just to see what it can do.
If I went for the 85mm f1.4D that would finish of my budget, since used copies are selling for only $100-150 less than new I don't see much point in going that route.
The real conflict in my choice comes from the fact that I'm working on a new small business idea and I want my lens purchase(s) to fit that before my desire to have anything else for hobby use. Of course if the business pans out I could be buying new gear sooner rather than later. I almost think the 24-70mm F2.8G would be best for work, but as I noted higher up on the page, that focal range isn't something I've used a lot of in the past.

Are your new small business plans related to photography? You don't have to spill the details, but just a general idea, if you want.
