The 35/1.4 and 50/1.4 would work great. The 12 isn't too bad, but you 
have to shoot in RAW and use the plug-in to cure the vignetting. I 
had reasonable luck with the 75, as long as I didn't use it wide 
open. My 90AA wouldn't couple correctly, and the 135 has trouble with 
focussing accuracy wide open, and you need to be able to use it wide 
open, as the lenses aren't that fast in the first place.
