Depends on what you want to use it for. My vote would be the 100/2,
as that is a seriously sharp lens, too sharp to use as a portrait
lens (but you have a 100/2.8 for that, right?) and would be rather
awesome on an E-thingy as a 200/2, although I haven't tried that
yet. The 28/2 is a heck of a film lens as well but has limited use
on an E-thingy. Both of these are significantly sharper than their
2.8 versions (and perform better at f/2 as well!).
I'd skip the 35/2 as, other than speed, it doesn't gain you anything
over the 35-80 zoom (at least my copies don't).
Of course, if you want to do macro, that limits the choices, doesn't it?
