Subject: [Leica] Seeking advice on lenses

LUG friends;

I am a retired engineer, so I don't make my living from photography; however,
I do some professional photography using my Leicas, Nikon F3, Hassablad, and
4x4 view camera.

Please give me your recommendation on what I should do with my Leica lenses.
For my two DS M3s, I have the following lenses:

50mm F/1.5 Summarit - Wetzlar 956xxx
90mm F/4.0 Elmar (Collapsible) - Wetzlar 1387xxx 
50mm F/1.4 Summilux - Wetzlar 2629xxx 
90mm F/2.8 Tele-Elmarit - M - Canada 3201xxx

Of course, the ones that I use are the Summilux and the Tele-Elmarit.

Should I sell all of these and buy the new 50mm ASPH Summicron or Summilux and
the 90mm Summicron?

Or, is the 90mm Summicron also made in ASPH?

Or should I sell just the Summarit and the Elmar and keep the Summilux and
Tele-Elmarit?

Thanks for your input.

Charlie
