Really. I'm a Nikon shooter. I don't know Canon.
I was shooting some photos for our church last night with my Nikon D4 and a AF-S Nikkor 28-70mm f2.8 lens. One of the people I was shooting came up to me afterwards to say that in her work, she has to shoot a lot of official ceremony and portrait shots for an office in the Pentagon (frockings, retirement ceremonies, change of command--that sort of thing). She has a Canon body (or rather her office does) and is interested in a comparable lens that is better suited for the kinds of stuff she has to shoot.
Obviously, Tamron and Sigma would make similar lens. But she's specifically interested in a similar Canon lens. It doesn't need to be exactly those specs but the f2.8 would be critical and I gather she's shooting in some cases where speedlights/flash/strobes aren't an option, usually interiors, sometimes groups and otherwise 1-2 people in the frame. So the 20-70mm (or something close to that 25-75mm, etc.) is the right focal range.
So....what would be a good full frame Canon lens in that aperture and focal length? And thanks in advance for any recommendations.
