lens advice needed

[jhonthreesixteen]

hi, would like to ask some advice for this 2 lenses

1. nikon 17-55 f/2.8
2. nikon 28-70 f/2.8

been wanting to own one but could not decide which, price wise i have no problem buying a new 17-55 and 2nd hand 28-70,as the amount will be somewhat there,, shooting style will be more for events (weddings/ birthdays), studio, type kinda thing, still a newbie though,,

can a 3rd party will do the same in terms of iq, like the tamron 17-55, 28-70 (pls correct me), or any other recommendations?

any bro/sis here could pls. share their experience using the nikons,, thanks for any advice in advance... im using a d300

Unless you have a lens to cover the wider range of anything wider than 28mm, I'd suggest going for the 17-55. It's definitely a more usable, versatile range on a crop camera.

17-55 will give you a wider angle which you will need for wedding photos.

This is my opinion.
