Since both price and size seem important, you may want to look into the Leica I recommended. It is significantly cheaper than Fuji's 60mm if you take your time to find a good and well priced copy. The dumb adapter to mount it on your x-cam is maybe $20 (depending on the lens, Leica R to Fuji X or Leica M to Fuji X)

Of course, manual focus only, but so would be the adapted Canon or Zeiss. Unlike the Canon, you would have full aperture control.

Or possibly a used Fujinon 60mm is worth cosnidering?

Thanks Sjak.  If I was primarily interested in macros, I agree the Leica would be a great choice (plus it is a Leica!)  Since I'm thinking some kid portraits, I think a used 60mm (or some other deal for it) is the way to go.... thanks again!
