85 1.8 II sounds great to me too, although I think 85 1.8 IS would be even better (as long as it doesn't push up the weight/size/price too much!) ... or perhaps an 85 1.4.
Other than that, 135 2L IS (I keep trying to come up with a way to justify adding a 135 2L to my kit
) and 50 1.4 IS (or even a 50 1.4 II if there are problems putting IS in a lens with a 1.4 aperture).Maximilian - out of curiosity, what weren't you happy about with the Sigma 85 1.4? The reviews I've seen are generally very positive, with the only real complaint being some reports of AF issues. I've been thinking about trying to pick up one second hand to give it a go, so I'd be interested to hear what you didn't like about it.

My style of working with 85mm lenses does not necessarily need more than f1.8.jd7 said:
The canon is smaller and lighter which I prefer. The AF seems also faster, though it could be even better
The Sigma I tested had a slow AF with AF inconsistencies. I didn’t want to try through several copies of that lens to find one fitting to my camera body and not fitting to the next body I’ll probably have. I never had such problems with Canon lenses although Canon also has some spread in quality.
Optically I really wish Canon to design something similar. And I really appreciate what Sigma does and has done in the past. If I was to buy a third company lens, Sigma would be the first way to go.
Edit: If Sigma comes out earlier than Canon with a new 85/1.4 or 1.8 Art, I'd at once would give that one another try.

It is far from out of the question. A full frame 70-300 STM has been rumoured (I think I remember a patent), and would be a logical follow up to the 24-105 STM.If it has a non rotating filter and good IQ (as recent STM lenses for EF-S), it will only lack the USM, external appearance and high price of the 70-300L.
Logic says that it will come, but only if willing to sacrifice USM for the silent but slower STM. I would have settled for that instead of stretching to the wonderful L, if the existing non-L USM had not been so dissapointing in so many ways.

Wow. It seems like th majority of shooters in this thread shoot telephoto. A lot of requests for updates to 85, 135, and tele zooms.
What blows my mind is that my 24-70L ii and 70-200L ii are sharper than my primes. Shouldn't that be the other way around? I shoot mainly portraits/events so I'm looking for fast primes. The sooner Canon can release updates to their L primes (hopefully increasing the sharpness and reducing the weight), the happier I'll be.

I had waited for that lens for a long time following logic, and still am. But I am less than hopeful. Canon has tiered it such that people are forced to buy the more expensive lens if they want quality or go bust. The non-L has so many issues- ergonomics, no true ring USM, few aperture blades, rotating front element. It was just a difficult lens to love. But then I have had the same feeling about the 50/1.4 and that seems to go on without replacement for ages.
Your idea about an STM makes sense. But having used STM lenses, I don't think I'd want one if I am shooting birds or sports- it's just too slow. So even if it comes out, I'd not benefit from it.

Interesting. One learns something every day.
It also seems you're from Australia. Right guess?
