To mix things up a bit - have you considered buying a vintage lens? You can get some amazing f/1.2 lenses at a fraction of the cost (and size) of any lens so far suggested. In fact you could get several Bags of character and wonderful bokeh possible with some lenses having up to 15 aperture blades. Probably manual focus of course, but you'll have that covered with focus peaking.

But not with focus assist....  With peaking you will still have to use the magnifier.

45 is more than enough, but 500.000 isn't
