You can see in my signature what I own (135 is obviously the longest FL), now, on my to-buy list are the following lenseses :D :
85 f/1.2L
200 f/1.8L or *sigh* 200 f/2.8L
300 f/2.8L (no IS) or *sigh* 300 f/4L IS

and a camera upgrade:
1D MKII

One item can be bought only. Certain items may require some time to gather the resources, if you mean what I know. :D

BTW, I'm not selling the zooms, because there are situations where zoom wins over quality and low-light shooting many times, besides, the Tamrons are pretty inexpensive and, well, good enough. I know a pro guy that shoots for a few newspapers and have yet to see him using a fix focal lens. Oh, except that one time I lend him the 50 f/1.0. ;)

You have a great set of lenses. Most would get the Canon 70-200/4 L next. Given the $, get the 70-200/2.8 IS L. Of course, it all depends on what you shoot and where.

Sounds like you're buying lenses for the sake of buying lenses. What do you need to do that you can't do with your current lenses?

Wierd that you don't get the 50mm f1.4 first and foremost! that f1.8 mII stands out in your current panel. If it was sandwitched between the 35 f1.4 L and the 85 f1.2 L it'd be even worse!

you could always get the teleconverter for the 70-200 2.8/4 L
