Thanks to both of you for your comments. The 60mm is certainly food for thought. That said, perhaps the 50 2.5 CM might be best. Now I'm really torn between minimal focus range, and the better (or best) wide aperture sharpness.
The 2.5 lens wins the first contest, and 1.4 lens, the second.
As of this moment(very subject to change)the 2.5 might be ahead.

The autofocus of the 50mm 1.8 might well be less reliable than on a more expensive lens, but I think it's a bargain worth having on hand anyhow because I've had more hits than misses by far. This is my son getting his first bath at home and not liking it....
