Wondering what your thoughts on a third prime lens to go with my new Canon 6D. Right now I have the Sigma 35 f1.4 and Canon 85mm f1.8. I was looking at purchasing the Canon 135mm f 2.0L lens. I know that most people use it as a portrait lens, but I though it may also be good for indoor/outdoor events that my kids will be participating in. It might be something that I could also use for landscape/travel photography. Would this compliment the two primes that I currently have or would you suggest something else? Or do you think I should get rid of the 85mm f1.8 and go with the 35/135 combo?

Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.

I'm in the same boat than you and just bought the 135 which is great in term of IQ but also comfort to use and weight, and I'm in process to sell my 24-105 to buy the 35mm f/2 IS.

Concerning the 85, except if you need the money right now, stand by before get rid of it. Used the 3 lenses together in first and you will see if you need it or not...

enjoy!
