So I recently moved over to a canon 5d mii setup. I bought the 105mm 2.8 with the camera and I'm looking at my next lens choice.

I already have a 50mm 1.4 in the bag at the moment.

I mainly shoot portraits (studio & lifestyle) but also shoot a lot of product and advertisement stuff.

What would you guys recommend as my next purchase? I have a budget of about £500.

My thoughts were:

Sigma 35 1.4 (secondhand)
Canon 85 1.8
Canon 70-200 f4
Canon 24-105 f4
 
Of those the best all round lens is the 24-105, which for the price really is very good. Not sure what you'd want a 70-200 for given your likely uses. The other two I have no experience with - but I can say I find a 28mm prime useful, tend to feel that 35mm is too close to the 50 (I've also got the Canon 1.4). Sure someone else will chip in on behalf of the 85... The only other option pretty much in your price range would be a 17-40 if you flt the need for a wide zoom, but you probably don't need it for portrait.
