As i now have some cash to play around £3000 woop lol... im gonna completely refig my lens line up.

I love my 10-22mm, wish it was a little wider but i like using a filter system so im going to stick with it!

So im thinking...

Canon 10-22mm
Canon 70-200mm MKII

Canon 24L MKII
Sigma 85mm
Canon 100L IS

The reason iv kept out a midrange zoom, is lately iv had my sigma 30 on my body pretty much throughout, so i think id use the 24L mostly if i get it!

Why not 35L instead of 24L since you have 22mm on the 10-22, and if you do that you'd have nothing between 24 and 70?

my happy lineup is 16-35. 50. 85. 135 :O all set, but i do think you need something between 24 and 70 as Sirrith said and 35L would make more sense...

Have to second the 24 TSE. It's one of the few primes I think I would actually use and is on my wish list on B+H. Great landscape and special effects lens.

Very nice! Haha.

If I were you, I would grab the Canon 85mm 1.8 instead of the Sigma 1.4. Use the extra cash for something else, or even pick up a Canon 50mm 1.4.

I second the 35L recommendation.

Every time I see "35L" I kind of well up with emotion remembering that this lens will arrive at my doorstep in 2 days.

That should sum up my recommendation.

35l...since I got mine I have fallen in love with the focal length.


Nikon D850 and a bunch of stuff, I have learned a lot here when I was shooting Canon, staying to keep learning..."Every time I set up I learn something new".

my dream setup
17-55 (for travel usage)
70-200II (stage performance and sports)
sigma trinity 30/1.4 50/1.4 85/1.4 (indoors and portraits)
400/5.6 IS (birding)

Maybe one day I will need an UWA or TS-E for landscape and architechture
