you forgot to mention what bodies you are using them on, and which 70-200mm version.
Anyway, looking at your pics, I wonder if indeed you need a faster lens - f1.4
Maybe you should consider the 24-70mkII, but if portraits is your main goal, then indeed a 85 or 135 will help you more- but keep the Sigma if you can.
if you like manual focus, then you have more options if you willing to consider a legacy lens
I'm shooting with a 5D3 and a newly acquired 5DS. The 70-200 is the 2.8L IS II.
Thanks for checking out my website, I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. I've been enjoying shooting primes whenever I can. I love my 50L and 135L. I thought about the 24-70, but it's insanely expensive, and I'd like to shoot wider than 2.8 whenever possible.
I don't ever really need to shoot wider than 35mm for anything. My ideal setup would be the 35 art and the 135L on different bodies, but when I need to work faster, I think I'll opt for the 35 art and the 70-200. If I can get an even trade for the 24-105 I'd be very happy. Then if Sigma ever releases the fabled 85mm Art, I'd be set for lenses forever I think.
I'm going to be starting to do some video work coming up, and that's really the only reason I'm hesitant about getting rid of the 24-105. But I can easily use the 35 Art on a monopod with video head when I need those same shots, but need it more stabilized.
