Hello Forumers 
This is a story of mine, and I was wondering if anyone had/has a similar decision issue.
I started out with DSLR-s in 2007. My first was a EOD 400D with the 18-55 and 55-200 kit lenses.
So as most photgraphers, I started out with zooms.
I felt in a way confident that I have a big focal length range at my disposal, and can shoot anything I want...
Later I moved on, I got a 40D, and some L lenses like the 70-200 f/4 IS, and the 24-105 f/4 IS.
Then at around 2011-2012, while mostly shooting Rallysport to this date, I started to turn my attention to shooting women.
So I had a chance, and moved to FullFrame sensor (5D Mark II), and some better glass, like the 16-35, 24-70, 70-200 f/2.8 version.
As you can see I pretty much had every focal length covered (at least for my needs), and I really enjoyed it at that time.
Then in 2015 I borrowed my gear to a friend, who had an accident and managed to destroy it all.
Luckily for me, his insurance paid for the gear, so around October 2015 I had no camera, but was expecting to get a lot of money.
And then, I had this crazy idea, since mostly I was shooting women at that time, and very rarely motorsport, to change my photography habits,
and to get a brand new body, and a top level Prime lens, and see what happens.
But since it is so expensive, and did not want to throw that amount of money out of the window, I contacted Canon, if I could try out the (back then) new 5Ds, and the 85mm 1.2L lens, on a photoshoot. Thanks to them I was able to borrow the kit at no charge.
So I went to a nude workshop that day, that was organised by one of my friends, and tested the above mentioned grear.
And I totally loved it. So at around Christmas, I finally had the money to buy it.
I used the this combo for more then a year, the 85mm being the only lens I had.
And it was great. But then, I started feeling the need to go shoot some Rallye again, and that sometimes I was imited by the 85mm focal lenght, and by looking at the old pictures this need has been more and more intense, also I looked at the pictures of people I took with the 70-200 IS lens, and found, that they are still some of my favorites. So I took the money I started saving up for another lens, and sold the 85mm, to get a new 70-200 IS II.
I went to 2 races, and started feeling its not like in the "old days", later a friend asked me to shoot some pictures of her.
And then (not even 2 months after I purchased the 70-200), I realised what an idiot I am...
I loved the 70-200 with the 5D Mark II, it was such a great lens, I did some of my favorite pictures with it, back in 2013-2015...
But that was back then... In fact using solely the 85mm 1.2L changed the way I enjoyed Photography a lot.
The fact that it was limiting me, so I had to use my foot, or find other was to fit the subject in the picture, the extra low light (or background blur) possibilities, that the lens had given me have really changed me in a way.
So I moved from the 70-200 to the 85mm and I loved it, then I moved back to a 70-200, and find myself not even wanting to take up my camera anymore...
So to my question:
I could sell the 70-200 used, for around the same money, I can buy a 85L...
But then again, there is talk of that new 85mm 1.4 IS L lens coming this year.
And I if look at the new Canon primes, that are all sharper then the older version, mostly also have better chroma control, and the fact that this new one promises to have IS in it (what would be great to have for the 5Ds), I am really at a point I cannot decide what to do.
- If I sell the 70-200 now, I could get the 85L 1.2 lens, and continue where I left off 3 months ago.
But then if the new 1.4 IS arrives, and turns out to be better then the 1.2, I would have a hard time selling the 1.2.
Hell it was hard enough to sell it once.
- If I wait though, I might get the new 1.4 IS lens...
But who know when it will arrive, maybe only for Christmas. And I fear I would not feel "good" using the 70-200 till then.
Yet if I think with my brain about it, and not my heart, the 70-200 IS II is one of the best lenses Canon ever made, and its still quite good for portraits, and such, so I must be overreacting, but maybe this is like love, that you just can't use your brain...
So what would you guys do?
