Sounds like you want the 50-140 f/2.8. Pricey and hefty, but definitely the best really nice all-purpose tele/portrait option, IMO. The old 56 is a better portrait lens (way better than the 55-200), but requires careful technique for optimal focusing - absolutely do-able, but it’s more finicky than most. The new 56 looks amazing and easier to focus at wide apertures.
