Hey girls and guys,

Alright so I figured out that I am not a zoom person at all. Granted there are some situation that makes zoom useful but I just don't like the pictures it produces. I am a bokeh-Holic. I currently shoot with a 5Dc and I was wondering if these set of lenses are a good choice? I currently just have the sigmalux 50 1.4.

Option 1: the set of lenses I really want
-24L II
-135L

Option 2:
-24-70mm 2.8 (probably one of the few zooms I wanna try out and see if I like it)
-135L

Of course I'm not getting all of them at once. My next lens purchase will definitely be the 135L, and then after that ill figure out if I want the 24 or the brick. But do you think either of these options will make me set for awhile? Also does anyone have any pros and cons on the brick vs the 24L?

If you have the 24-105, I wouldn't get the brick. I had both for a number of years and 90% of the time I went with the 24-105. If you are really after bokeh, get the 24 and keep the 24-105.

Actually, I just sold the 24-105L haha. I did not like the type of pictures it produced at all. The only thing it had going for it was the ridiculously useful focal range. My default lens 90% of the time is the sigmalux. I just love that lens to death. I might've been the lucky one that has an incredibly sharp copy.
