Canon has great EF zooms (24-70mm 2.8L II, 70-200mm 2.8L IS II and 100-400mm 4.5-5.6L IS II can recommend without hesitation, the 28-300mm 3.5-5.6L IS depends), though I do have the 85mm 1.2L and 300mm 2.8L IS primes.

Would like the 50mm 1.2L and 35mm 1.4L II primes, but unfortunately those are typically quite expensive.

Maybe the 135mm 2.0L is good too and worth having.

I can't speak to the 50 & 135 but the 135 F2 is one of those charmers that renders knock out images with a beautiful palette - razor sharp, the look, the bokeh etc  - it makes a table leg look good - no kidding .
