Trouble choosing a lens

[wedniaa2]

Hi so I have a Canon R50, and I mainly shoot portraits and I have a wedding coming up so I am looking to get a new lens that’s better suited for those occasions. I am debating between a 24-70 f4 or a 17-55 f2.8, I do use a flash (Godox V1) so maybe the f4 won’t be an issue but I am not sure.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

I would choose the f/2.8 lens. Shallower depth of field to help emphasize subject away from background more chance of avoiding flash for more natural lighting.

The EF-S 17-55mm F/2.8 IS USM is specially designed for crop sensor cameras such as the EOS R50. The EF or RF 24-70 F/4 is more suitable as a standard zoom on Full Frame cameras. It won’t be an ideal focal range on the EOS R50.
