Sigma 35/1.4 or ...

[anthonyd]

I have some money burning a hole in my pocket (under $1K) and I want to buy a new lens.
I do a lot of portrait work and landscapes and I currently have a canon 50/1.4 and 70-200 (both of which I'm very happy with) and a tamron 17-50/2.8 (which I'm ok with). My body is APS-C so the 50 is a little too long for indoors work, or full body shots, so I'm considering of adding the Sigma 35/1.4 into the mix. Every single review I've read praises the lens beyond reason, so I'm not concerned about the quality, I'm only wondering what other lenses people would consider in my situation.

I did consider the Sigma 18-35/1.8 for a second, but it's not FF and I might be upgrading my body next, so I don't want more crop lenses.

Sounds reasonable. I used fast 24 and 35mm primes when I used a APS-C. I then added a 50 when I moved to FF.

I guess the question is whether or not you'd be OK with the S18-35 replacing the Tamron 17-50. That would be swapping one crop lens for another. Then you'd have the 18-35/50/70-200. It would require a bit more lens swapping but it would give you enhanced DOF control over the 18-35 range.
