I only shoot film. The lenses I use most often are a 50 Summilux ASPH and a 28 Summicron ASPH. I sold my 35 Summicron ASPH; never loved the focal length, although a plenty good lens. The other Leica lenses I favor are the 75 Summilux and the Version 1 90 Elmarit. I have a 90 ASPH - modern contrast, very sharp, but I when I want a 90, it is usually the 90 V1, so I will probably sell the ASPH. I also have a CV 21, a nice little lens. Sold my 21 Elmarit ASPH; could not justify keeping it. I have a friend who really likes his CV 28 1.9; larger than a 28 'cron, but a fine lens. My advice is to purchase what you can afford, what you can justify, or just what you like. I can't think of a modern lens for your M mount camera that will give bad results; Leica, Zeiss, CV, Hexanon; while many vintage lenses are also great choices.
