Error processing information. Too many Ls stuck in my eyes.

1. 24 f/1.4L mkII
2. 35 f/1.4L
3. 50 f/1.2L
4. 85 f/1.2L mkII
5. 135 f/2L

I could shoot with this kit on a FF camera and never need another lens, except maybe a 100 f/2.8L Macro. Also, I'd happily take the Sigma 50/1.4 in place of the 50/1.2L, if need be.

Samyang 14mm f/2.8
Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS
Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II

It's taken almost six years, but I'm almost there.

I'd keep everything I had and add a TS

35L 85L and 16-35L on Full frame .

17-40L
50L
85L
135L

and I would have to think long and hard about a 5th...

50L
35L
24-70L or 24-105L
But honestly I've been really thinking about a mid zoom sigma lens for the cost

I'm satisfied with these:

16-35/2.8LII
35/1.4L
50/1.4
135/1.4L
70-200/2.8LISII

Anything else I think I should rent or borrow rather than buy.

I'm done!

Tokina 11-16
Sigma 85
Canon 35L

The only thing I would ever do is replace the Tokina with the Canon 16-35 L II. As long as I don't need a weather sealed body I don't see that happening. Feels good having what I need for what I shoot!
