24-70ii is a must have lens for events, studio, versatility. The only drawback is lack of IS which makes me keeping 35 f2 IS. The latter is a very good performer even though not L. I sold 135L after acquiring 85L (1.2). 135L is the most affordable pro portrait lens but it’s not versatile at all. Not only you need lots of working distance but on my 5div I need to keep shutter speed at 1/500s to get consistently sharp photos so it is not at all a low light lens. Also, 135L can’t handle shooting against bright background - huge loss of contrast where 85L simply excels. I’d say you can pretty much anything people/portrait related with just two lenses 24-70ii and 85L.
