Please see my signature below for what I currently own, I'm looking for another portrait lens that could also be used for other purposes as well.
A fisheye is in my near future for skating photography also 
Thanks !!

You know that was my first choice so far....only thing that's been holding me back is possibly upgrading my 50D to a 7D so I'd prob throw my $$ there first....

Me, I would probably go with the 35 (or 50) 1.4 that was suggested but it really depends on what your 24-70 2.8 is not doing for you now. The other lens I might suggest since you're sticking to crop would be the 17-55 2.8 but other than being wider than what you already have I don't know that it's what you're looking for. 5D Mark II | S100

Well yes, definitely a little faster and narrower. To throw another variable into the mix perhaps something to also use for landscapes as well....
