Hello Guys and girls of course ;)

Im looking at thees to lenses, an i don't now what to get..

I tried a 100mm IS macro, but that wasn't me.

But i need a wide angle lens, but also like the 35mm because of the f/1.4

Any good advice?

Hard to give good advice on two totally different lenses IMHO.

What exatly are you shooting? Architecture? Street photography? Portrait?

I love my 35L and I also use my 17-40L a lot as well, however both for very different uses generally.

You've got a 50/1.4 already. Might as well choose something that'll give you a serious wide end.

Those are kinda completely different lenses. I would get an ultra-wide since you don't already have one and if I had to suggest one, I'd get the 17-40L. Great performance for the price.

After owning the 16-35L II, I couldn't possibly recommend it to anyone. The IQ is very mediocre in relation to its big price tag.
