Hey guys.

I own a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 and I love it. But I'm now thinking of getting a used Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8 Mark I to replace the 50.

Is this a good choice? Need recommendations.

Thanks for your replies. God Bless.

Thank Jesus for everything you have in life. That's the right thing to do.

24-70 is known as "the brick" and deservedly so. It is colossally big and heavy, and very prone to problems. You already have wide covered with your 17-40, why not go for something longer like an 85 or 135?
