I'm using a Noct (50) and a Summaron (35) with an M6-J rangefinder in my M3 
body.  I would be torn as well, as I flip back and forth between them all the 
time now.  The 50 has its place, but I also like the wider view of the 35; 
either should work fine with the 0.85, though I have a hard time seeing all 
of the 35 view with my glasses and had to purchase an external viewfinder to 
assist.
