See my lens line-up in sig. Have someone willing to buy my 70-300L. Not quite sure that I want to sell it, but if I do and keeping my current lineup in mind, what would be best to add?

I was thinking either a Sigma 30 ART of a Canon 135L.

Judging from your Flickr site I would say 50-135mm. Maybe a 50 1.4 and a 135 f2 or 85 1.8? as you have the 70-200 I would be more inclined to go wider and brighter than the 135... IMO.

Sigma 35 art ; or are you planning on using the 30 on the 7D and not the 5dmkIII?

I enjoy and do a lot in door photography, so the Sigma looks appealing but I'm not quite sure about the 35mm. Could be a bit too wide for my use.

I mulled for quiet a while what 'fast' lens I wanted; and had it narrowed down to Sigma 35 or 50L. After much debate; I decided on the 50. My reasons mostly related to me wanting to shoot people in low light venues; where the 50Ls better low light af and more flattering perspective won out for me over absolute sharpness.

Think I will go for the Sigma since I do a lot of indoor shooting without flash of the kids. Will miss the 70-300 but since I got the 70-200 and seldom need the reach, I think the Sigma will be used more. Hope it is a good lens for me.
