lens choice 5DMK2

[hiltonig]

Ok guys have to choose 2 lenses to go with the above, budget not a problem what would you pick, its for all round work and I already have a 70-300 DO cannon lense, not sure if i should go old school 50mm and 35mm fast lenses or two zooms, like landscapes, car shots and just developing the skill, would prefer to stick to cannon make, i do have access to a lecia setup for more traditional use.

Landscapes 17-40L or 16-35f2.8L mkII - or CZ 21mm
General walkround : 24-70f2.8L (possibly soon to be replaced, good bokeh nice and sharp and fast) or 24-105f4L IS (1 stop slower not as good bokeh, cheaper lighter).
Primes: 24L and/or 35L , Sigma 50f1.4, canon 85 1.2L or 1.8

70-300DO isnt the best long lens but its pretty decent, could probably sell it and get a 70-200/2.8L or 100-400L.

look no further than this! but add in a 50mm 1.8 for the hell of it!

I prefer the 24-70 f2.8 to the 24-105 f4. Sharper, faster. (But heavier and costlier also.)
