Re: The 35mm Q - worth having both 35L and 16-35L?

I am sort of in the same boat, except that I know that I want the 35L II when it becomes available at a good price.  Already have the 16-35 f/4.  Like the other poster said, different lenses for different purposes.  I plan on using the 35L for my low-light event photography and other similar type events.  The 16-35 f4 is for landscape and non-moving objects.

The dilemma I am facing is whether I should get the 16-35 f/2.8 as well.  It would be nice to have a zoom in this range for the versatility, but it might be lower on the priority list.

To answer your question, I don't think it's too crazy to have both the 35L and 16-35.  Two different lenses for two different purposes.
