Hi all, so i have a 5d4 along with 3 primes: a 35Lii, 85L 1.4, and the 135L. I want to invest in a 24-70 or a 70-200 as my next lens, but I am wondering if it is a bit redundant to have the 135 since i already have the 85l and if i get the 70-200 i will have that focal range covered. I love my 135 as it was my very first pro grade lens and I have taken some of my best photos with it. I do mainly portraits and weddings, so what do you think i should do?

I did exactly that. Sold my 135L and got the 70-200/2.8L II.

For professional use the zoom is much more versatile but for me as hobbyist this didn't matter. It was mainly the IS that made me switch.

If you don't need the cash then just keep the 135L and get the zoom as well. I never really regret selling it, however, in some travel occasions a light medium tele would have been nice.
