I used to have four M lenses and I used them in this order (the 21 and 90
have been sold, regrettably):
50 Summicron (50% of the time), 35 Summicron (25%, but this will increase
once I get a -3.0 diopter so I can see the frame lines without glasses), 21
Elmarit (15%), and 90 Summicron (10%).
Based on my own unscientific tests, the sharpest of the four appearst to be
the 50 Summicron, with the 21 and 90 a VERY close second. The 35 Summicron
is not quite as sharp, but still excellent.
With an R or other SLR camera, I would use the 50 least, the 90 most, 35
second, and 24 (not 21) third.
