If you get a full frame, the 35mm and 70-200 2.8 IS MkII are the ticket. The holy grail is the 35, 85, and 135 if you want to stay fixed primes. But the 70-200 is sooo very good.

if you could only buy 1 lens at the moment...which one would you buy first b/w the 35L and the 70-200 2.8L?

Tough call, but I would go with the 35 L first.


Sony A1, 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II, 70-200mm F/2.8 GM OSS II, 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS, 35mm f/1.4 GM, Viltrox 16mm f/1.8, 1.4X TC, Flashpoint flashes

I would say on a crop body for weddings I would get the 35L before I got the 70-200 just for the simple fact that in most cases you can get closer to the action, but find it hard to get away from it (especially indoors at weddings and such).
I have owned/own both and sold the 35L when I got the 24-70, but I don't shoot weddings and don't need anything below 2.8 in that length.

Depends on what lens you have already. If you are asking what would I get if I had a choice between only the 35L and the 70-200, I would get the 35 of course.
