Merry Christmas everyone! And good luck in your fantasy superbowls!

With a child your surroundings turn into a mess. Biggest cure in a picture is for the mess to be blurred

And if you get crappy glass you won't use it, get good glass and you'll have friends asking you to shoot their kids too.

Problem with a 50mm on a crop is that you have to get too close to the target and they see you ( fine for babies ) but once you get to 70mm sometimes the house is too small to get far enough away. The 70-200 (40-150 mirrorless) buys you a lot of flexibility in that regard but is really better suited to a full frame. The sigma crop is real interesting but you need image stabilization (at long reach)nd it doesn't have it. I could easily and happily replace the big whitey with an 85 and a 200, but that would cost me more dough and not less. The zoom is mostly useful to me for sneak pics and at ball games chasing the kiddos.

What's it take $$$ to get something reasonable in the mirrorless world?
