I think that everyone would agree that the following Leica lenses are
currently best in class in 35mm.
24mm Elmarit ASPH although the new offering from Zeiss offers better value
28 Summicron
35 Summilux ASPH
50 Summilux ASPH
75 Summicron
90 APO Summicron
100 Macro R although the Canon offering is very close and much less
expensive
135 APO Telyt
180 Summicron R
280 Elmarit current version again the current Canon 300 2.8 might be better
70-180 APO Elmarit R
 If Leica can come up with extreme wides that are as good as the above in a
small package then the future of the dM will be very bright. I believe that
a small(ish) very high quality digital camera will sell in enough volume
that Leica can survive as a niche player.
