My favourite too. But I am tempted by a 'walk about' kit of 21, 28 and
50. Or maybe 24, 35 and 75 (thought the Leica 75 is a little bulky for a
minimalist set up.

My favorite is the 35/2 ASPH.  It's the one I seem to grab most often
when I just 
want to walk around.  It's handy for public outdoor events like street
fairs and 
festivals and is also very handy indoors with flash.  It adds little
bulk to the outfit, is 
quick to handle, and plenty fast enough for the type of photography I
prefer.  If I did 
more available-darkness shooting I would have probably gone for the
35/1.4, but it's 
somewhat bigger and heavier.
