Do you shoot in a small area? I would say the 35 or the 50mm. Personally I don't like anything wider than 35 for small groups. But to each their own. Definately do you research on the Sigma, Tokina and Tamaron versions too. Sometimes their versions of a particular lens are better than the Big guys.

Do you normally shoot indoors or outdoors?

You were probably reading about the 50/1.8 II which doesn't have an ultrasonic motor for autofocus and can be quite loud when acquiring focus because of that reason. I have a 50/1.4 on a full frame body and haven't had any issues.

If I have 580ex ii flash, is it better to buy 50 mm 1.4 or stay with 24-105 mm to take portrait for my family? Is there a big different between zoom lens and prime or I can save my money to stay with lens kit?

My suggestion would be not to buy anything yet. Use what you have and see what you can do with it. After a while, you will have a much better idea of what you might want.

The 24-105 f4L is a very nice quality lens. Unless you are in a low light situation where a faster lens is needed I would stick with that.

+1 I love my 24-105L
