I have a 24/2.8 ASPH, 35/1.4 ASPH, 50/1.4 Summilux, and 75/1.4 Summilux.

The 35/1.4 ASPH is probably the finest M lens I own. Perhaps one of the
finest M lenses made.

The 50/1.4 Summilux is the M lens I use most often. It and the 75/1.4 have
a "look" that is unique. Unobtainable, I believe, by other manufacturers
lenses or with modern Leica lenses.
