Deliberating on kit for event and portraiture. 16-55, or others?

Re: Deliberating on kit for event and portraiture. 16-55, or others?

I feel that the 35 f1.4 has really come in handy in low light situations and just general everyday shooting. However in most lighting situations I encounter, shooting at f2.8 is good enough. Although I'm not a professional photographer, the 18-55 came in handy at a birthday event I shot. I was lucky enough to have a lot of natural light coming through the windows. Personally, it's a good lens if you're outdoors but it has its limits and I'm not a fan of the IQ.

I've been reading a lot of good things about the 16-55 f2.8 and may consider getting it in the future if I decide to part ways with the 18-55.
