You can only have one prime in your bag: which one would it be?
In other words, which of your prime lenses spends the most time on your 5DII body?

I love my 85L to get closer though and it would be difficult to choose one over the other as they complement each other very well. 5D² - 7D - 17-55 2.8 IS - 90 Macro - 35L - 85LII - 135L
