Thanks for that. Honestly, though, that’s probably more than I’ll be spending in the near future. Anything anywhere between that and where I am? Or is it pretty much all or nothing situation?

understood

unfortunately, many of the holiday deals are past

the EF 85 F1.8 is a fast sports lens to read about and consider for your application if you are considering leaving m  - though I'd be looking at used in the 300 -400 range

my favorite lens is the 32 f1.4

consider the 16 and the 56

Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens for Canon EF-M 351971 (bhphotovideo.com)

the trinity is something to consider

or if you can swing a 70-200 f2.8 which has been my money lens for the last 15 years
