(plus it's a low light lens with the 1.4D, making it a lot faster than the wide angle and medium zoom he has) which would be good for hotel shoots.

His wide angle is a great lens.

If he was to get anything else, besides the 50mm, I would say the 70-200 2.8. But you tell me if he wants to throw down more than 1500 for the best tele zoom on the market?

Shit it's only $200.00 more than the 24-70 I have but do you really use something like that to shoot content? Serious question, I'm new to all this lens shit that goes along with an actual D-SLR. That thing looks like something you'd use to shoot a sporting event, no?
