Another option is to buy the Four Thirds Olympus 50/2 with MMF-3, that's what I just did: $290 for a used lens and $110 for a new adapter, ~ the same price as 60/2.8 and probably optically better, plus one stop faster and an adapter "for free". AF speed seems to be the only downside which is hardly a big deal for "macro" use.

What about it being only an 1:2 lens, while the other two are 1:1 macro lenses? That can be considered a downside too.
