Have you looked at the Fuji 56mm? It is a proper prime unlike the F2 primes.

The Fuji "Proper Primes" correct for distortions optically, the small F2 primes do not they use software within the camera to correct quite large distortions, this fundamentally affects image quality, they lack microcontrast and tonal graduation.

Do you have a source for this info? I would like to read more about this before I decide which primes to buy. Thanks!
