Subject: [Leica] 35 or 50mm as standard lens - the need for speed ?

I've got 35, 50 and 90mm Summicrons.

There is something about the M system that causes a disease, a lusting, a
wanting - for speed!!

I've more or less convinced myself that I need to get either a Summilux ASPH
35 or 50mm.  I like both of the 35 and 50 mm focal lengths and use both of
then for street shooting, I find then both more than useful.

As I'm trying to adhere to the one body on lens style, when I have the 50 on
the M, I wish I had the 35 and vice-versa.  Nothing some quick footwork
can't usually fix. 

But I can only "invest" in one 'Lux - so which one to get ?

As I used the 35 and 50 for some time I'm acquainted with their +/-'s, but
what I'm hoping for is that someone can help clarify my own thinking with a
well timed and worded comment...

Thanks in advance,

Peter Zak.
