Inclining towards a 60mm, but give me some idea on some sharp, fun lenses to use. Already have a 70-200 4.0 IS L, 24-70 2.8 IS L, and a 100 mm 2.8 L macro in the L series. Inclining towards 1.2's. Roughly 4 grand to invest.

I think you need some wideangle. Always nice to have in the bag. :)

Any suggestions for a wide angle? They don't have l series wide angles in the store i try out lenses on. I've already got two 5DII bodies and most accessories that I neeed.

True. But fisheyes are so limited in use that they're hardly worth considering. I'm looking to have fun and make money at the same time.

Lol.. it's a figure of speech.

But yeah, all those lenses are very fun :D

(except for 17-40.) That's a sweet focal length for you FF since you needed a UWA lens.

Hmm... I guess you need something wide open for portraits and an UWA.. I'd pick the 85L and the 16-35L Mark II :)
