One or the other and not sure which. I'd like the wide 35 to double as both portrait and urban/landscape lens. Previously had the 50mm f/1.4 and thought it wasn't wide enough sometimes. Is one (35 or 50L) preferred over the other for performance?

Again, one of the two on a 5D, (soon to be 5DII) for portraits and landscape. Other lenses I have are listed below, minus the 50mm 1.4 and the 85 1.8. Trying to stay with the 35-85-135 range, I think. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

There’s a detailed thread just comparing these two like 3 threads down.

Nobody will be able to tell you what FL you will like better.

Well, you kind of answered it for yourself. 35L should do the trick!
