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.

A match made in heaven.... the 135L is my favorite lens. I have 50 & 85 primes to compliment it. The IQ and bokeh of the 135L is exquisite.

Great photos. Looks like it is an excellent piece of glass. Thank for the feedback.
