It would make some sense to keep the Canon 35/1.5, sell the Canon 35/1.8, and get the 35 Summaron as recommended by a number of posters here. One fast 35 for low light and shallow dof shots; and a lovely Leica 35 as carry-everywhere, daylight shooting moderate wide.

Added a photo of the M2 as my Avatar when I receive it I'll get a proper photo of it. This is the photo from an email in 2007 when I commented on how much I would love to have on and my friend bless his heart took me up on it.

That's a great combo, looks almost like mine 
Was out with the 50mm Canon 1.2 yesterday, racked off half a roll of film, at my Son's rock concert. Having great gear helps.
If you can swing it, a black TomA M2 Rapidwinder and black TomA Softie will be a great improvement, I think you will find. And a 35mm F2.8 Summaron.

I will agree with Roland as his advise is sound, but would do differently I think.
I would keep the Canon 35/1.8, 50/1.2 (you can't replace the speed) and 100/2. I would keep or replace the Canon 50/1.8. This is a very good lens, the all around partner you camera will need. But, I would in the end I think sell it along with the rest and buy a Summicron, a contemporary of your camera. Buy film and some time to use it with the proceeds.
