I just got a 6D and FF is completely new to me. I've got a 24-70 f/2.8L MK I and 50 f/1.4 and I'm wondering now that I no longer have a crop what I should be looking at next. I basically have the middle ground covered with nothing for wide (<24) and nothing for long (>70). I do like the 2.8 aperture lenses so I'm covered if the need arises but the 6D having such great high ISO performance I'm not sure I need to be so worried about 2.8 now, plus I can save a lot of $$ and weight by going f/4. I'm not one to drop $2K on a lens, I'm just shooting family and vacations for memories and such, nothing pro but I don't want the cheapest out there.
A few ideas are swirling around in my head, 100mm or 135mm prime for long end or should I just pickup a 70-200? I like the weight of the f/4 significantly better in the 70-200's than the 2.8. Since I have a lens with focal length at 24 I don't think wide is my most urgent need, now that I am FF my 70mm FL isn't 112mm anymore so I feel like I'm short. Just not sure whether to go with a couple of primes or head toward the 70-200...or even something else I haven't considered.
I just don't know how I should proceed. Ideas?
