To the OP: First, you need to decide which is your priority: landscape or portraiture. If landscape, given the zoom you own, then the 16mm f1.4 although you won't need the speed. If portraiture, I'd suggest the 60mm f2.4 macro. It is slow-focusing but, for portraits, you don't need the AF speed. Also, that would come closer to the 90mm Leica rangefinder-era classic portrait FL. It's also significantly longer than a 50 in my opinion and less expensive than the 56 f1.2.

Wow that is a very good explanation! Your point about the need for a larger aperture for landscape and focussing speed for portraits.

I will take a look at the 60mm f2.4 macro.

Thanks!
