nice.

do you find the 35L to be 'wide' enough for you?

Shut!!! I think you've just sealed my fate... Is this the Mark I version?

Eric, so far the 35 has been wide enough for me when it comes to shooting events and group shots. However I have struggled with a few landscape shots when I could no longer back up to frame what I wanted.

Mr. Clean, this is the Mark II version.

Thanks. I'm struggling between getting the 24L or 35L.. ..

Well.... Just pulled the trigger on the 1DMIII. Should be here next week. Ordered a used LN one from KEH. Sooo Hope it was the right choice! Gets freaky going down in MP and off FF!!!

Thanks everyone who took the time to try to help me make this choice!!

Camera: Canon EOS 1D Mark III
Lens: Canon EF 85mm f/1.2L USM

1.8 or 2 maybe? even if they are at 1.2, that doesn't mean i must get this lens, i have 85mm 1.8, but i really dream to get 85 1.2L for portraits not sports.

I was heavily considering trading mine off for the 14L, but seeing pics like these makes me realize i need to dive deeper into it, and keep it.

I learnt something that all lenses can do amazing if you use properly, even kit lens!
That is why i don't sell my lenses, i sold only Siggy 70-300 and 17-35 because i bought 70-200, 100-400 and 16-35L, i want to sell my old Canon 28-90 because i have Canon 24-105L.
If i have 85L i will never sell it, i mean i will never sell any L lens.
