hmmm add a ultra wide angle to it. like the 17-40 4.0 or the 16-35 2.8... or get a 24-70 ( that one i would have taken instead of the 70-200, if you dont have other lenses) the 70-200 is a pretty long tele lens for portraits and some landscape photography... i rarely use that zoom range.. i am more the landscape / people kind of guy and have a 14-24 2.8 and a 50 1.8 + 85 1.8.. .the 14-24 since i mainly use and sell these images and a 50 1.8 and 85 1.8 since these are pretty good lenses and have similar quality to the much more expensive 1.2 / 1.4 lenses...

a 70-200 2.8 i would only add if i have the money or would use it regularly... depending on what you shoot get the lens :-)

I assume you are talking about 5DmkII and not D5 :p
It's good to see that you are getting rid of those cheap low quality lenses and get some high end L lenses to use with your full frame body.
The cheap f1.8 do NOT have similar quality as the L primes. They can not even compare. I have had the 50 f1.8 and it can't even compare to the 24-70L zoom let alone the L primes. First of all the bokeh produced by the 50 f1.8 is just awful and it's mainly sharp in the center while it's build like a plastic toy with a pathetic and almost unusable manual focus ring. To me the extra money I spent on the 35L and 85L are well worth it. I'd rather shoot with digital Rebels with a bunch of high quality lenses than the latest and fanciest full frame body with a bunch of plastic consumer lenses.
