What additional lenses for G7?

Hello folks,

I have been doing videos pretty regularly since the start of the year with a G7 - The lenses I currently have with my smallish budget are:

Kit lens LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm

Panasonic 24mm 1.7 prime

Rokinon 12mm 2.0

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6

Helios 44-2 58mm F2.0 ( I mostly use this for fun, not used on events so much )

I don't have any real high end lenses, trying to scrape by until I start pulling in a bit more money, but any suggestions on gaps i am missing that might be good. I shoot a little bit of live sports, racing, martial arts, also weddings, and have been approached about doing some commercials for small businesses / testimonial kind of stuff.

I was thinking about the panasonic 42.5 1.7 because it seems solid and works out to that 85mm equivalent , the 40-150 i have is good for how dirt cheap it is, but no OIS and nothing on the body so shots get wobbly really really fast , especially zoomed out all the way because it telescopes. I also was hoping at some point to get the sigma 18-35 with a focal reducer - because its such a well regarded lens but will have to save up, other than that I was debating some of the rokinon cine lenses like the 35mm etc..

Thanks
