70-200mm f/2.8 - which one?!?

<p>Dear William,<br>

thank you very much for your promt response. You're right, is difficult to give up the 24 70 , even with best primes lens. I will keep mine and 70-200f4 also, I'm more tempted for a very fast lens like 50L, rather than the 70 200 2.8 is2! Only my dreams after a good red wine!<br>

<p>The EF 85F/1.8 is very good value for money:<br>

I use my 85/1.8 as a partner to my 35/1.4 quite often for Social Events. <br>

The difference in Focal Length between 35mm and 85mm is a better fit for me, than using a 35mm and 50mm lens, where I find that there is only a little difference.</p>

<p>I also have the 135/2L. That is an exceptional lens:<br>

<p>Maybe you should consider the 85/1.8? And perhaps don't always think that having an L Series Lens is necessarily the only solution for your kit.</p>
