Hi all, thanks for taking the time to reply.

All of the suggestions given are good and practical. It has provided me with many options. But I'm most inclined to the 35mm f2 non IS as it's the cheapest and most convenient option.

I've thought about the original 5D and 50mm STM option but that would increase the total mass of the setup by a few hundred grams. The 35mm f2 IS is quite expensive over here but I know it's a great lens.

The M3 seems greatly improved over the original EOS M but it's not readily available here.

The old non-IS 35/2 is not as good as the new lenses from Canon. I sold mine solely because of this. It's not bad, but it doesn't compare to the new ones.
