Hadn't considered that, but I will thanks. Already have the 50 1.4. A9 | 25 | 55 | 85 | 90 | 135

I prefer 35L on full frame(or 24mm on crop), 35mm's a great focal length for semi-wide angle people shots. Won't have to get as close as you would with the 24mm to get that super shallow dof(getting too close to people w/24mm=big noses)

If I have to commit: 35 FTW, I love this focal length, very versatile! 5D III | 35∑ | 85L II | 135L | 300L II | 16-35L F4 | 24-70L II | URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/steve_fuerst/"]

I think standard zoom + telephoto + 35L/85 is good enough. Maybe 17-40 + telephoto + 35L&85 works too.

In the future I may get an 85 if I feel I am lacking at that FL. I like my 50 outside (too narrow inside) and I will just lose 100 bucks if I sell it so I'll just keep it.
