Greetings to all. I'm about to trade in my Canon EOS gear for a used
Leica R system, and need some advice on which lenses to get. I would
appreciate comments on the following lenses as far as resolution and
contrast are concerned:

1. 35mm 1.4 Summilux vs. 35mm 2.0 Summicron;
2. 80mm 1.4 Summilux vs. 90mm 2.0 Summicron;
3. 100mm 2.8 APO-Macro-Elmarit vs. 135mm 2.8 Elmarit.

Any advice on any other particular lenses that you consider a must-have
for every R system is also welcome. Thank you.
