For me, a 60mm Makro-Elmarit for R, and 75mm Summilux and 35mm Summicron-asph for M. The 60mm Makro-Elmarit can be called a semi-classic and retains some old Leica character (good reproduction with enough fidelity). I won't have to say anything about the 75'lux (good reproduction with very high fidelity). The 35mm Summicron asph may be the reference for the modern Leica glass (utmost high fidelity). I would assume a 90mm apo Summicron and a 100mm Makro-Elmarit are on the same lines. Cheers, Mikiro
