I just received an email with the 35 mm L on sale for $1449 from BH. They also have a deal on the 16-35l.

Ah, the 16-35 f/2.8L III would be a nice addition!

Yes ... but... what is the objective, what type of images are you looking to shoot?

Landscapes - great lens.

Portraits - better choices out there (85 - 135mm focal length)

Wildlife - pick a different lens.
