Subject: Lenses for IIIc - recommendations?

Dear all

I recently bought a Leica IIIc from Len Lyons in London, after a number of years of eyeing his 
Leica's longingly. 

 I bought a standard Elmar f3.5(uncoated) with it which is beautifully compact and crisp.  I have 
been shooting a lot of black and white in varying light and have generally been very pleased. 
However I am considering buying a couple more lenses and would be interested in 
recommendations.

I am looking for a faster 50mm and something around the 90mm. 

I bought the camera to use, not pet, so I want lenses that will give me the best quality but I can 
take into the forest etc and take advantage of the compactness of the IIIc. 

Would be grateful for any suggestions from all the experienced Leica hands out there!
