So here are my choices:

Buy the 85L= 2199
Buy the 50L= 1619
Buy the 70-200 II and sell my V-I = 2499 - (whatever I get for the mk I)
Buy 35L= 1300 (with overnight shipping).

I am stuck. Mostly sports, I have a wedding on Saturday. I do shoot more than sports though.

Have fun yelling at me..

70-200 MkII .. Relatively speaking, by far the most bang for the buck.

I think we both know you'd wear it out!

I'd get the 50L now and upgrade the 70-200 later. L primes have such great rendering.
