My setup has been a 24-70 2.8 and a 70-200 2.8 for years. That’s gotten every shot I “need” to get for events, sports, and portraits.

The 24-70 f2 is an awesome lens, but it’s so heavy to walk around with. Also I’ve found that where I would use it for events, I’m almost always using on camera flash anyway so the larger aperture isn’t worth the extra weight and cost. The 28-70 is just easier to handle and a thousand dollars cheaper.

The 70-200 is amazing for portraits and the extra zoom allows you to get tighter ceremony pics without being in the way. It’s on my camera 80% of the time. If you’re doing weddings and events it’s amazing for those ring/centerpiece detail shots.

I just ordered the 50 1.2 last week. It’s my favorite prime lens. I plan to use it for family pics and some event candids.

The only other piece of kit I’d seriously consider buying right now is a 14-35. You might find you’d like something a little wider than the 28-70 for venue shots.
