I'd like something a *little* longer, but I *really* need some room if I mount an 85mm or 105mm lens - so the normal FL lenses win out most of the time. On my M6's, it's the current Leica 90/2.8 for me (with the 1.25x magnifier) - fast enough, sharp enough, compact enough, nice rendition - perfect for my needs.
