50mm 1.4 & 135L -vs- 85L...

Both 135L and 85L are good lenses.

135L is fast in autofocusing and quite capable to do fast paced shots

85L is good but a little too slow to focus.

Are you FF or crop? I'm curious if I'm going to be tempted to go with a 24L as well. (Edit: Never mind, I just checked and its $1700 new. That puts it out of my wallet's league.)

FF. And get the original 24L... They're now <$1k used since the new version came out.

another concern I have.

I'm thinking I'll put up a FT thread and see if I get any takers...

I love my 85L. I have both the 50 1.4 and the 135. I use the 85L a lot more than both put together. But I like having the other 2 around for when I need the FL I sold my 300 f4 and my 200 to get the 85L. I figured it would be easier to save up for these lens if I ever needed them back again. The only one that I miss is the 300 F4 but not enough to sell the 85. Good luck finding a trade.
