IMHO, I would choose the 100 2.8 macro (in fact I do have choosen it!), mainly because it would open more new ways in photography, i.e proxi and macro photo. It is also well known that the 100 mm 2.8 is one of the best Leica lenses. The other lenses seem to be concurrents with equivalents M-lenses... The R-line is also more practical with longer lens. I would not choose the 90 mm 2.0 R because the equivalent in M-serie is probably better. (I have no information about it, but I have the impression that the 90 mm R will be changed soon... May be I am totally wrong.). The 80 mm 1.4 is interesting but I would prefer a M camera for available light. My 0.0002 cents. Regards Christian Payot
