Venting re" Full Frame

That is the lens I was going to recommend. I only shot it once, but I liked it. I also like the Voigtlander 58mm, but manual focus isn't for everyone...

There's something else to consider. The 60-250mm isn't actually a 60-250mm. Camera makers typically round a lot in their specs. A lens that's a 62-245mm can legally be labeled a 60-250mm. A 55mm prime is going to actually be 55mm. and the difference between that and the 62-63mm you don't like is substantial.

Oh, and that rounding thing also affects 50mm f1.4 lenses: I've measured Nikon and Pentax ones at 52mm. Almost all lenses are off in the "easy" direction. It's easier to make a 52mm f1.4 than a 50mm. It's easier to make a 22mm than a 20mm. Easier to make a 280mm than a 300mm.
