Small lightweight manual 24mm for A6000

Hi,
I've bought an A6000 with the kit lens as an all around camera, but i hate zoom, so i'm looking for a small 24mm (30-35mm FF equivalent)...
I tried the Sony CZ 24, it is good but it's bigger than what i want and it is autofocus... I want to get a manual lens.

Mainly to shoot from 5,6 to 8 1/2, i don't care of color cast (i'm used to), but i would avoid smearing ....
I'm not after perfect quality, as i have all i need for that:
2xA7R, 14sam, 17 and 24 TSe, 35fe, 35pc contax, 55fe, 55 pentax Shift, 90pentax shift.....

Did any of you tryed:
-21/1,8 voigt
-Any 24mm leica
-25/2,8 ZM
-25/4 voigt

Is there any other option?
Thanks

Have you tried the E mount Sigmas? I think the have a 19 and 30mm. Supposed to be pretty good lenses. I own a few of the lenses you mentioned and the have mixed results. They're full frame lenses so they'll be a bit on the larger size so if that's a concern then I wouldn't choose most of those listed.

I have used the Leica R 24mm Elmarit on the A6000. I use it more on the A7r, but it is OK on the 6000 as well. Probably larger than what you are looking for and it does exhibit some softness towards the edges.

some interesting discussion on the sigma 30mm (very similar to FE 35mm)
