My wife and her brothers and sisters want me to take pictures of their parent̢۪s 50th wedding anniversary. It will take place at a yacht club in Washington D.C. and I̢۪m told it has a lot of scenic backgrounds. Just in case bad weather or rain, I have bought a backdrop stand a few muslins and looking at getting a 3 or 4 studio light kit off Ebay.

I have the opportunity to get a new lens with the wives permission and I want a good lens. This is anniversary will only happen once.

Here is what I have:

Camera: Canon 20D
Camera Grip: BG-E2 (3 total BP-511A batteries)
Flash: 580EX
Bat Pack: CP-E3
Memory: Lexar Pro 1GB 80X
Lexar Pro 2GB 133X
Lens: EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM
EF 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM

So, we have decided that if I want to get a L series lens, than get one. So, I want a lens for group shots as well as individuals. I know I can cover that with the 28-135 but I want to know if the L series takes a better picture, quality and all. Besides I have her blessing to spend.

Here are a few that I̢۪m looking at.

EF 17-40mm f/4L
EF 24-70mm f2.8L
EF 28-70mm f/2.8L
EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6L
EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

Any thoughts let me know.
