Upgrading my lenses, what to invest in?

So I am currently rocking a T2I with kit lens, Vintage Yashica-DX 28mm F2.8 m42 lens, Super takumar 50mm 1.4 m42 mount, and a Vivitar 35mm F2.8 lens (I believe its actually T mount with a m42 to adapter, its a little soft till F4 but it's declicked and was well worth the 30 bucks I bought it for.) and while they are all nice lenses I have gotten really cheap I was wondering if it might be a good idea to invest in some better lenses that might that would also be good for if I ever upgraded my camera. I was thinking of looking either in to Older Nikon Lenses or Samyang lenses (with Nikon mount so I have control of the aperture). I want something that could be used on Full frame as I am debating on getting a 5D MII.

Is the Yashica an ML? I have a set of those, and I love them. They're a little challenging in that there were no 85mm or 100/105mm lenses (except for a 100mm macro) in that series, but I've never found myself unable to get the shot I need. They get pricier the wider you go, but add a 35, 50, and 135 and you'll have a pretty good set. With adapter rings, they can grow with your kit.
