[Leica] Suggestions for lens purchases?

Hoppy,
The first 4 photos here are from my coded 28 Elmarit Asph.  The street 
scene, the 2 John Deere Tractors, and the one of my wife and grand 
daughters.  The lens is really nice on the M8.

Thanks for the suggestions.  The 24 is number one on my wish list also, the 
dealer had one when I got the 28, but I figured the wife would kill me if I 
got it ;-).  I suspect one of the older 21's would be a nice candidate for 
the coding if I can find one at a decent price.  My 35 Summilux is a 
Titanium one, I guess it would bring a good price used, although it seems to 
work very nicely on the M8.
