You got more tele lenses and reach than carter got pills!

get the prime 35 f1.4. gives you good coverage with basically no need for a flash in low light situations.

IMO the last thing you need is a anything that resembles a telephoto, i.e anything over 50mm!

I have the Canon 17 to 55 2.8 for inside my church. It is beautiful. Use it with my 7d.

I have the equivalent Nikon lens for my crop-sensor cameras. It's a very useful range and speed.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions on my past questions. The answers have led to my current collection of lens which I hope is coming to an end soon.
I currently own the following used on my Canon 7-D.
70-200 L IS USM 4.0
24-105 L IS USM 4.0
10-22 USM 3.5-4.0
EF 1.4X III Extender
Canon EF25 II Extension Tube
I feel that I have adequately covered all my Tele and Macro needs, as well as having a nice 'walk around' lens in the 24-105.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think my next purchase should be a faster
f-stop lens. I prefer to stick with Canon, and I want to get the most bang for my buck by not necessarily buying the most expensive unless that is the only one that will do a good job.
Okay, fire away, but please keep silly remarks to yourself.
Thanks,
Dan

Why don't you go for 50mm f/ 1.8 or 1.4

Best bang for buck in the camera world 50mm F/1.8.

Thanks for everyone's help.
I am leaning to either the 35mm f2.0 or the 50mm f1.4. The 50mm seems to be the leader since it's purported to be a great indoor portrait lens. (I have a 1.6 crop factor on my 7-D). I don't want to own both, so as one final request could anyone who cares to offer an opinion one over the other.
Thanks,
Dan
