Have you considered the 35mm 1.4? It's 2 stops faster meaning you can go from iso12800 to 6400 while still doubling your shutter speed. It has great light transmission(higher t stop) and at 35mm the dof isnt so small that everything will be a blur line with the 56 1.2 or the samyang. You don't need to back up as much either to get the shot.

Used you get them between 350 and 400 all day long and they produce very pleasing images.

Thank you, this could be a very interesting lens!

ISO 6400 with 1/320 would be such a good improvement and the lens is not too pricey.
