Yeah, trinity time. Thinking of completing my arsenal, which I think quite sufficient for me at this moment. Mainly uses on landscape, portrait and streetshot.

To use on my 5Dc:

24/50/85 or
35/50/85

Alongside with my trusty 17-40L. thinking of either 24L, 35L or 1.4/35 Contax.....

I'd go for the 24L as you have the 50L. For me the 35L is too close to the 50L. What's my Trinity? The 24L/50L/85L :D

Ops, then I should have named it unholy trinity. I dun see my ZEISS focus slower than AF 85L, thats y I go with better contrast n vibrant ZEISS.

Probably 24L II?

That's a nice choice over the 35mm.
Same with me, unless you would get the 35mm, the 24mm and an uwa lens lol

24Lmk2 is one of my favourite primes on a full frame. I dont know the purpose of calling a combo of 3 lenses as "holy trinity". For me I choose the FL I feel handy for my style. Recently pulled the trigger on a 100L instead of 135L. I felt hybrid IS with macro function to be the determining factor for a tad more versatility. If I must I'll use the 100L for portraits.

I grab my 24L before my 35L. Something about the perspective with a 24L on a FF.
