Sell non L primes to get 24-70LII

Well it's not like your glass is bad and since you shoot so much you will probably know in a few weeks at most if you still have that feeling of wanting or needing the new 24-70 and if so get it. From what I've read about it and following your comments in this thread you will use it well.
Especially if you are not using he flash, sell it to add to the pool. You know the 24-105 will sell very fast when you are ready.
In other words I think you really want the 24-70 and will use it and enjoy it and I want to hear about it.

Now that I've had my 24-70mm MK II for about 3,000 images, I find my primes getting used less and less, I've kept my "L" primes, but they may go on the block by years end.
The new zooms do not have f/1.4, but the new cameras make up for much of that with their high ISO capabilities.

I own the 50 1.4/24-70ii/135 2.0. In my opinion, the 50 1.4 is so razor sharp at 2.0 that I prefer it for most low light shoots and it's super light weight/size. I bought the 24-70 ii (after selling the brick) and love having it for the ability to shoot an entire wedding with just that lens (on FF camera). It's not just the practicality of the 24-70, it's also knowing your images will be sharp at any focal length or aperture. All this topped with super fast AF, the lens is almost a no brainer for run and gunners. Even though I have the 50mm on the zoom, I love having a sharp 2.0 and won't hesitate to purchase the 1.4 replacement soon.

I too love the 50mm 1.4 and also felt that it was great at 2.0,
I feel a little naked without the 50mm, I allmost bouht the 50L in december when bnh was selling it for 1200 new i think. But I was busy and never got a around to it. I love the 50
for me though, the particular copy that I sold was just plain cursed. I've to repair it twice at $110 each time.
I started the bidding on that lens at 99 cents and didn't look back.

I sold my primes and a zoom for the 24-70mm f2.8l II. I liked the 50 1.4 and I will probably replace it with the 1.2 at some point. My 35 f2 wasnt anything special so It was worth cashing in on. The Tokna 11-16 never really got much use on the 7d, and since adding the 5d to the mix the Tokina was just collecting dust. I ordered a refurb 24-70 II from Canon for a good price so I think I made the right choice.

Do whatever you want to do - it's only money. If you find out you've made a mistake, sell it and move on.
No one but you knows what makes you happy.

I'm going to get a 135mm f/2... and then I'm going to eventually sell that to get a 85mm f/1.2... so I'm not too concerned...
I used the 100mm as a portrait and just a solid indoor/outdoor sports lens. I didn't do much macro... but I liked having that as an option.
So after I get the 85mm... if I still have an itch for macro... maybe I'll pick up one...
