Curious, in the group opinion, what are the top Leica R lenses?

e.g. the ones that if you have, don't sell; if you don't have, you 
should look for?

In my own opinion, among the lenses I've personally used the 60mm f/2.8
Macro, 100mm f/2.8 APO-Macro, and 180mm f/2.8 APO-Elmarit are
general-purpose lenses that qualify.

The 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt's other name is My Precious.
The 560mm f/6.8 has its optical quirks but if you can work around them its
bang/buck ratio is hard to beat.
