Since you seem pretty content with what you have (other than the 56), maybe wait until X-Summit in May? It might change your thought process or maybe sitting on the funds until then will change your direction of thought. Maybe something is announced or released that surprises. Of course, probably have to wait longer after that for anything released to actually see light of day, but just a thought.

Thank you for the suggestions. Yes I am waiting for the 56 WR to be announced. I am sure it will be a great lens. But you are right! It will take a longer time to see the 56 WR actually available on the shelves. So, I think I will upgrade the 56mm in late 2022/ Spring 2023 to be realistic.

I would otherwise throw a vote for the 50 f/1, if not the 56 f/1.2 to replace the Viltrox. And maybe there is a new 56 at the X-Summit event.

Absent new equipment, I would vote for a trip/workshop for the same reasons everyone else has mentioned.

Thanks again
