Hi, just wanted to share my experience. I had similar lens collection as yours. I sold my 24-70 this summer and bought a 35 L. 24-70 is very versertile for sure but the images produced by it are a bit boring. Also, it is too big and heavy for me. I used 35 L along with 50 1.4 for the weddings I took this summer. I love the images from 35 L very much. But sometimes I do miss the flexibility of the zoom and I hate to change lens constantly. I am not a prime lens guy, I love zoom, especially my 70-200 2.8 IS II. I sold my 85 1.8 and 135 2 after I got 70-200. For you, you may consider to add a 50 L since you already have a 16-35 (I had 17-40, but I rarely use it) as other people suggested. But I think the images from 16-35 and 35 L will be different, IMO.

If I keep the 16-35 zoom - should I get the 35 first or the 50
I will then later buy the 135L.
The look I want is simply better image quality on my 5d's and much more DOP.
My ideal would then be the following list:
16-35 L
35 L OR 50 L (WHICH ONE?)
85mm 1.8
135 L
70-200 F4 (I had the 2.8 and didnt like it)
Thanks for all the wise input.
