to buy a new lense.. something suitable for portraits.. my line up is
currently 17-35 2.8 / 50 1.8 / 70-200 f4 /   any suggestions for a nice
portrait lense would be helpful, probably fixed focal lenght and suitable
for indoor use..

John,

For portraits buy the Canon 135mm F2.98 Soft Focus lens.  This way you get
am exceptionally sharp 135 with built-in soft focus settings so its far more
conevnient than adding filters when you need to get that soft look.

You can use a 100mm macro, but it may be too sharp at times and possibly the
focal length too short.  
Just my 2 cents.

PS  I often use my 28-135mm IS lens ar 135mm with a softar filter for
portraits.  This works very well for me.
