how you like that lens really? im looking to go D700 soon and im not sure if i should keep the d90 and sigma 10-20 for rig shots or sell both and get a nice lens to dangle my d700 at the end of a pole ROFL

I think it's pretty hard to say because the d90 is much much lighter and can dangle off a pole easier than the d700. I really like this lens so far though and it's very sharp. I think ultimately I have been deciding between keeping this 18-35mm f3.5-4.5, 50mm f1.4, and my 80-200 f2.8 or sell them all and get one single 24-70mm f2.8 - or just sell the 50mm f1.4 and get a used 35-70mm f2.8 but it's hard to decide. The 50mm f1.4 is SUPER sharp! But I need the 24-70mm so I can have the wide end and the zoom end for event / wedding photographer....someone wanna give me $1800 for the 24-70mm ? 
On another note I was testing a 14-24mm f2.8 today and HOLY **** it's NICE! Super wide and super sharp wide open! My D700 need that lens - I will get one some day!
Dream lens list:
14-24mm f2.8 ~ $2,000
24-70mm f2.8 ~ $1800
70-200mm f2.8 ~ $2,000

if you're thinking about using 14-24 for wedding, i would suggest using 17-35. I sold my 14-24 for 17-35. 14 is too wide when you taking picture of the couple greeting (and getting the red envelope) at the table. It makes the view distort.

Have a D80 and just ordered a D90 yesterday. Starting to get into wedding photography.
I do a lot of sport photography but don't really read up on anything on how to shoot and so forth. Does anyone have any idea where I can get a lens that is able to take real fast photos. Or am I better off getting a better camera? Any help appreciated.
I know the basics of photography, just starting to get more into it and have a few questions. Thanks in advance!
