I only own two primes, the 50 mm2.5 compact macro which I don't use much but is OK, and the 300 mm 2.8 L IS which blows me away.

I'm thinking of getting the 35L. I have three L zoom lenses that will shoot at 35mm quite well.

Am I being stupid or is the 35L that good?

One thing none of your zooms can do that the 35L can- get an image at f/1.4.

If you want/need to shoot in low light without flash, it's worth it. If not and you have the three L zooms in that range it's not.

f1.4 @35mm is a wonderful thing!

Let there be light!!!

Being able to get so close to the subject also makes for some interesting shooting as well.

Everything about it oozes "L"...build, IQ, color, contrast...really like the lens.
