You have a very substantial Nikon system (that 20/3.5, if it is the small
52mm-filter model, is a fabulous lens).  As a Nikon reflex user myself,
were I to augment your system (rather than replace it) with a Leica
reflex system, I would chose the following lenses in addition to the 50/2
you now have:
28 Elmarit (latest version)
100 APO-Macro
180 2.8 APO (I would wait and search to find a second-hand one)
1.4x APO teleconverter
for a second body, I would choose the all-mechanical R6.2

Regards,
Nigel
