advice for new lens？please

[lexptr]

I'll be totally theoretical, as still on my way to upgrade to FF, but based on my experience and Canon's offer I plan to use 16-35mm f/4L IS and 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II for all-around travel photography. Both are superb and I'm sure will suit my travel needs way better than current pair I use (Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and Sigma 100-300mm f/4). It is best to use on two separate bodies, so you do not need to swap lenses. I'm not sure anything is needed between wide and tele (35-70mm). It is truly depend on how and what you shot. But if I will get to such requirement – I will consider one of the 24-70mm or 50mm fast prime. About your primes. 16-35mm is not a replacement for 35L prime, unless you don't really use it's wide aperture. 70-200mm f/2.8L (especially IS II version) can replace both 135 and 200mm primes, because it is very good. But if 200mm has almost nothing better than 70-200m f/2.8 (except for weight, of course) the 135mm has several edges. Again, depends on your needs. Having 200mm f/2.8L and 70-200mm f/2.8L I would certainly get rid of the former.

Take your 35mm and your 135mm and have a nice trip. Save your money for another trip, but if you
have to buy a new lens, get the 85mm f1.8 as a mid-point focal length. Get a small, lightweight bag
that will just fit that combo and carry a good travel guide.

For true hardcore vacation walking around with only one lens, my current lens of choice is the Sigma 24-105 Art lens for less than $1000. If you want to shoot something far away, you obviously have to crop a lot, but the lens is good enough that if you're using a body with a good sensor you'll still a good IQ with only 33% of the original image. Obviously if you already have a long prime, take that one also. JMO.

I'd get the 16-35mm f4L IS and 70-200mm f4L IS (I have the f2.8L IS II but this one is more portable for travel). Sell the 200L, there is no need if you buy the 70-200mm lens. 35mmL competes in another league, it's 3-stop faster than the 16-35 f4L IS, keep it.
I am assuming you have FF body, hence take to travel the 16-35, 50L and 70-200.
