Actually, so does the .72, if one is willing to fight for it a little.  
Without the .72, the gap between .58 and .85 would be substantial, and the 
.72 would probably still be the best overall choice with the 35 focal length, 
as it has been since the advent of the M2.  I would guess that the 35 and 50 
are and will remain the most used lenses.  For focusing either of them at 
large apertures, I would still opt for the longest possible effective RF base.
