I'd have to pick the 35mm 2.0, but I'd be very tempted to take the 50mm
2.0 macro instead, and I imagine I'd be changing my mind over and over
again until I had to get in the car and go (and I'd probably find I had
the 35 mounted to an OM-1n in the end - loaded with Delta 100 or
Ektachrome 100S).
I have been forcing myself to shoot with the 135 2f.8 exclusively lately
and that has been fun. It is not a focal length I usually use, so I
decided to carry only that lens for a couple of months and it has made
me look at scenes very differently - and I have gotten a couple of nice
shots lately too (but I've missed a couple too!). I recommend the
exercise to anyone with a lens or two that is not getting enough use.
