Subject: [Leica] M6 system development

I currently have an M6 0.85, and a 35/2 ASPH, as well as an R system, but
this email is about the M system.

I have a 35/2 ASPH and I wonder if the 35/1.4 ASPH is better than the 35/2
between f/2 and f/8, or if the 1.4 is simply a 2 with one extra stop?

Also, to expand my system, I want a 50 and/or 75 and/or 90.

Which 2 lenses would you recommend for completing my M6 system?
The absolute best image quality is my main qualification for a lens, next
would be speed and weight/size.  I have heard of a 90/2 coming out this year,
and wonder if I should wait for it and get the 50/2 for now?  Or is the 50/1.4
better?
