In found in Africa I was taking so many close up people shots, esp of the kids....so cute ! Also as I previously mentioned landscapes and architecture are still on my hot list. Im thinking I now need a prime that helps me with sharpness in these situations.
Missed the reference to sharpness the first time I read thru your post. If it's increased sharpness you're after, I doubt you'll find many primes that will do better there than your 24-70 f/2.8L II.
Agreed! If I were you, I would replace that 16-35mm with the new f4 version. That would get you max sharpness there. Then I would just add a specialty prime for whatever you want to do. Sharpness isn't going to be a huge factor, but you will gain shallow dof and smooth bokeh. I would probably consider the 85mm II or the 135L or the 50L. Any of these would give a different feel than your other lenses and each has a wow factor
