If 2.8 is an option, 2.8 is the answer.

I wouldn't buy used anything from Amazon. Look at KEH, B&H, etc. You can trust their ratings.

Unless she is doing moving shots, the 4 will just be fine as it has the IS.
I am planning on getting the IV as well, now that the 6D MK II has come out as a dud. 24 to 70 F/4L w 70 to 300 combo. |

Just the guy I was hoping would chime in. Would you be satisfied with the gen I vs the gen II 2.8? Shooting kids and families outside 87% of the time Sounds to me like she's learning, and if that's the case, I'd go with whichever one is lighter. Either will be capable of far better shots than she is at this stage (or any stage, really)

Is your wife generating revenue from this endeavor?
I can't fathom why one would spend the $ on a MkIV otherwise. Anyway.... I have a MkIV and a 24-70 f/2.8 version 1. I'll take a few pics for you |

I'd rather have better glass than a better body.

Most of the time I'd agree with you. In this case, however, I seem to recall from another post elsewhere that the body in question is a T1i. If we consider that Canon sensor tech tends to lag behind a bit, that one's a solid 10+ years out of date. Considering the advances in autofocus, metering, and general user interface type stuff, it's well and truly time for an upgrade. Not sure I'd go that far of an upgrade though.

Have you considered the 24-70 f4 and the 35l 1.4 version 1. Those two together would be about the same price as the 2.8 but give you more capability. I have the 35l and really like it. It is great for indoors or very shallow depth of field.
The 85 1.8 mentioned above is great too. And it's very affordable. Keep in my mind the 2.8 is only one stop faster and you give up the image stabilization you get on the f4. |

Good choice.
Now get the 70-200 f2.8 IS L II next. It's amazing. |
