OK, so I had the old 35L and it was one of my most used lenses.

However, I sold it and got the 16-35mm f/4 IS L while waiting for the 35L to be upgraded to the 35L II.

The zoom is a very nice lens and I like it a lot. But it can of course not give me the look and feel of a 35mm f/1.4 lens.

So is anyone using both or is it just one 35mm too many?

I have the 16-35 and the 35 f is. that's a reasonable compromise, at a much H lower price. I'd love to have the L, but couldn't justify the cost for the reasons you allude to.

the f2 is a very nice lens, btw.
