I own the older f50mm which is built like a tank. The da50mm feels exactly the same as the da35mm. I rather like the lightness of the da primes. I certainly dont think it feels fragile. I have dragged my da 35 around me for two years now and its still like new

What about the registry office the size of a shed, what do you do for the signing at 24mm when you cant back up any more??

Personally, I'd be looking at something like the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8.

This advice is Golden... to anybody with wedding experience. If you could only take 1 lense to capture the entire day, formal and candid shots.... What would it be?
Da* 16-50mm what other lens do you need??

I just shot my first wedding of the year on Saturday and apart from getting the kiss shot at the altar along with the exchange of rings shots my 50-135mm got very little use.

My DA* 16-50mm 2.8 however shot around 900 frames during the day.

The 24-70mm is a "35mm-equivalent" of 36-105mm, not much use for a wedding?
No its not wide enough for interior group shots, we had thick snow on Saturday so all groups and formals where taken in doors, 24-70mm would have been useless.

The Tamron 17-50 f2.8 is a belter bang-for-buck. For weddings its a good choice for wide shots of venues/interiors and formal group shots, yet at the 50mm end becomes very good for portraits of the bride and groom and for a bit of reportage thrown in.

That would be my recommendation based on my own experiences doing weddings.
Isn't the Tamron screwdrive focus too loud for a wedding??? Particularly the ceremony shots???
