Obvisouly, there is only one correct answer: You need to buy two new lenses.
Indeed, with two new lenses, you're also going to need two new bodies to
mount them on, or otherwise you're going to be constantly missing pictures
because you're switching lenses.

Finance?  Well, as Mr Hashimoto has kindly pointed out to us, price is not
an obstacle.  Just take out a loan, or drive less.  Sell your family on eBay
under the European Antiques, Collectibles Wierd Stuff or Everything Else
Home Furnishings, depending upon the particulars of your family (mine would
definately go under the second category).

Remember, the answer to ANY Leica related problem is always: Buy new.
