I personally find wide-angle stuff exceedingly boring and therefore rarely use my wide-angles; my 90mm's, on the other hand, are the lenses I use the most. And I certainly would NOT buy a new lens: both the 50mm and 35mm Summicrons peaked with the later first-generation designs, the rigid 50 and the chrome 35. Later redesigns have been to reduce manufacturing costs and not to improve performance, and current production lenses simply are not as generally satisfactory as those made 25 years ago.
