Thanks everyone. I will probably get the Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro for my detail and/or macro shots and continue with my Canon 24-105mm f/4 lens. I may pick up another prime like the 35mm 1.4 for some low light shooting scenarios. Right now, the majority of my shots are in the afternoon with good natural light.

I currently shoot with the 50d and the 24-105mm L lens. My only complaint has been getting shots in low light

scenario b/c it's not a fast lens. I hate boosting up my ISO b/c of the noise that I get in the final image.

Besides that, the image quality, sharpness, and color have all been excellent.

 

What I am curious about is the strong following for prime lenses? Would a prime lens that is not an L give you

sharper images than a telephoto zoom lens that does have L glass?

 

For example, I am considering add a macro lens and a prime to my camera bag. I am considering the Canon EF 100mm

Macro and one of the following primes: Canon 35mm f/2 or the Canon 50mm 1.4.

 

Would any of these primes deliver better image quality, sharpness, and color than my telephoto L lens? and if

yes, which lens should I get since I have a cropped body sensor.

 

I am interested in taking indoor/outdoor portrait shots and detail shots that are not all macro work.
