Perhaps consider the 90 f2 and a macro extension tube
1
My reasons for suggesting this lens:
- As long as it’s not too long for you, iMO, the 90 is a better lens than the 56 (in terms of AF speed, more flattering focal length, creamy backgrounds). (I also have the 56 and think it’s amazing too, so, I’m happy to have and would recommend both if budget allows!)
- When combined with a macro extension tube, (eg mcex 16), the magnification of the 90 goes to 0.4 (which is just a little bit less than the 60mm macro lens). The downside to not having a dedicated macro lens is the working distance limitation, but it is cool to play around without spending a ton for the 80mm (which is much larger than the 90, and also I don’t like the cateye bokeh on the 80)
- The lens is also great for indoor zoo exhibits (eg reptile house, mouse house). I brought this to the zoo with me last time and was happy to have it (I also brought my cheap xc 50-230 which is pretty great for the $! I am on the fence about splurging for the 100-400... I don’t need it, but GAS)
The 90 is basically idiot proof for portraits! Sorry for the low res version, but I think you get the idea

Basically, it’s a fun lens. So happy I got it last year; wish I got it sooner!
