I've tried primes, but I find I need a zoom so I can vary the shots a bit. I ended up with the 50-135mm f2.8 for APS-C. If I went FF, I'd get a 70-200, and honestly I could probably be happy with the f4. I mainly shoot f3.2 on APS-C.

Mines would be 135mm f2.0L. Just got the 85mm f1.8 and will put it to the test tomorrow.
