The light zooms are only for snapshots the "fast" zooms are big, heavy and still only f2.8. If your friend wants sharp a big heavy zoom or light prime is necessary, if he wants small and light he'll get need to shoot f8 or less IME. The 24-85 is OK for that. The 24 f1.4, 50 f1.4 and 85 f1.8 are all excellent. I also use 135 f2, 300f4, 500 f4 (sharpest lens I've ever used) and Leica 35, 100, 280, 400, and 560.
