Looking for a new prime lens for table top work

Focal length will depend on the subject and the size of the table top. My 'studio' is 30 x 48 inches. Anything I set up has to look as if that is the whole world.

I find anything less than 50mm starts to include too much background that is not part of my created world. For food with dishes 100mm up to 200mm seems to work for me.

I do a lot of table top work mostly food. I use a DFA 100mm and the DA 70mm limited.

I also find the F 35-70 to be very useful particularly with it's close focusing mode.

And oddly I find the DA*60-250 to be one of the most used provided you have the room to back up.

I usually stop down to at least f/11 and mostly f/13.
