The Summicron 50 mm is definitively your best choice : "cheap" (strange word when speaking about Leica), easily found in second market, light, relatively fast, not exotic filter diameter (55 mm), normal angle, nice optical quality... For the other lens, maybe the Summicron 35. Instead of the 90 mm, I would prefer the 100 mm 2.8 Apo-macro (a dream lens), if you can afford it... May I ask what is the main reason that made you leave Canon Autofocus ? My 0.02 Swiss Franc Christian Payot
