I think that the 180mm f/2 and the 19mm f/2.8 have to be considered.  Both
are very sharp and can yield very dramatic images.  The 15mm f/3.5 is also a
great lens.  It is tricky to use well but when you find the right subject
the results are breathtaking.  ( I know that there is a new 15mm but I have
not had the opportunity to shoot with it.)  You may laugh but he 250 f/4 has
never let me down.  I don't know what it is about this lens, the unusual
length (it is the only 250mm prime that I know off) or the way it handles, I
always seem to get a little more out of the picture than I though was there.

Leon.
