Subject: [Leica] Need RD-1 lens advice: 35 vs 50 vs 90

Hi,
I want to shoot some figure/portrait stuff and am wondering if the 35mm
summicron (since the RD-1 uses the center of the visual field) would be
usable... I know that some photogs like to use a longer lens since it
"flattens" out the face somewhat...like the famous 105 Nikkor...how much
difference would there be between a portrait taken with the 35 or the 50 or
a 90...if you frame the head to be the same size on the "film" will there be
a noticible difference? I currently have a 35mm Summicron...
Thanks!
