I'd rate the 35/2, the 100/3.5 and the 100/2 as great lenses.  I also have a
particular fondness for the inexpensive 100/4 as a portrait lens.  I find
the signature on this to be similar to the early 90/4 Elmar, but with a bit
more reach.  Best of the bunch though is the 100/3.5, which is incredibly
light and a superb performer by any standard.  It is always in my camera
bag, no matter what combo of lenses I choose to trot around with.
