Hey guys, just looking for opinions and direction on which one would be suggested to get next. Currently I have the tokina 11-16mm 2.8 the canon 24-70mm 2.8 and a nifty fifty, I am in need of a telephoto but am stuck on the other 2 primes from reading reviews and seeing pictures taken with them. I do car photography at close-mid range. I really want the primes for that sharpness and soft bokeh, but would like to have the 24-70mm right to the 70-200mm combo for versatility.

any suggestions? I will own them all eventually just have to take it one at a time.

I presume you're shooting on crop? The 70-200 is going to be a bit too long for car photography unless you are just looking to shoot detail shots. For mid-range, I like the 85. Good focal length for cars from a medium distance as well as thin depth-of-field for close ups.

What does your budget look like?

Budget is pretty irrelevant, I'll spend around 1500$ dont really like to spend more then that at once unless I'm getting a lot of bang for my buck

Shooting with the 7D but looking to get the 5Diii soon
