Thanks for your feedback. In response to your observation, I am a big guy It does get tiring sometimes, but I consider it a workout.

I probably didn't make this clear - the swap to the 16-35mm would hinge on me selling the 24-105mm; just so that's clear. I wouldn't have both.

I'd say getting rid of the 24-105 and getting the 16-35 is a good idea.  Don't sell the Sigma though (assuming you like the focal length)

I shoot almost all primes and I do weddings and concerts as well!  I use the 24L II the Sigma 50 1.4 the Canon 85 1.8, 135L and the 200L II  My only zoom is the 17-40L which can be handy and the range of focal lengths is useful and fun for that type of photography.
