Cheers Jeff.

I think this is your best bet: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3663617

It's cheap, fast, a bit wider than all those 50mm, and it's by far the smallest you'll find within these constraints.

The only cons I found with this lens is that it will show more severe CA when wide open in high contrast situations when compared to most of the 50mm lenses.

If you plan on shooting B&W, low contrast or if your converter can correct for CA, this might be a non issue.

I bought mine for 4.5€. Seems I got lucky as they are selling for 20£-50£. Good luck hunting.
