I'm not gonna bother with a 35mm prime since I have the 16-35mm 2.8 L

I don't really think I need anything more than 3 nice lenses, 16-35mm 50mm and 70-200mm.
Very good plan, my man.

Two out of three are Ls that are amongst the best Ls made. Those will serve you for a long time, even if you go full frame later. The 50mm doesn't really suffer much vs. its L equivalent and costs WAY less. If you find yourself going to the 50mm or constantly running the zoom at 35mm, then you can think of another L, after the budget recovers.
