And that is just Section 13b in building 21 on site 17.

There’s also an entire empty facility just in case ‘missing’ deliveries from MPB via DHL, turn up.

OP asks for lenses that focus the Canon way....

Queue long discussion of lenses from Nikon, Pentax etc.

OP asks for lenses that are slow to use wide-open....     responses include stopping down faster ones!

Lots of people really just waiting for you to finish talking so they can go back to stream of consciousness without any thinking required!

Surprisingly, it seems that Minolta didn't make so many slower lenses?

This list here might not be complete, but it barely lists any slower ones: https://www.rokkorfiles.com/Lens Reviews.html and the page on the lens history doesn't include many extras either: https://www.rokkorfiles.com/Lens History.html

Is Flickr still a thing? maybe some searching on there might reveal some other options, and with bonus sample images too.

Whoops, we did blow right by that focusing direction one didn't we lol. I just automatically go to super takumars when I think of awesome character, slower, and readily available primes for cheap, they're the kings.

To be fair, it's in the list of preferred characteristics, so maybe theres some wiggle room for the right set.

If it's a requirement, I'll double down on my Olympus OM recommendation and also throw out SSC Canon FD lenses,  there's a 17mm 4, 28mm 3.5, 35mm 3.5, and a 50mm 3.5 macro and 100mm f/4 macro.

Bonus/wide lens could be the 24-35mm 3.5 L which might be just over budget.
