Like Wayne said, for wide angles I prefer CV lenses, more bang for the buck. The CV 28/3.5, 28/1.9 and 40/1.4 are hard to beat.
I have used the 35/2 and it's very sharp.
You cann't go wrong with any of the fast 50s, 50/1.5, 50/1.4 and 50/1.2 (I own all three). The 50/1.2 and 1.5 are great for portraits. The 1.4 is a phantastic general purpose lens, quite compact, nice OOF behavior and sharp across the frame, also wide open. Also the 50/1.8 is supposed to be outstanding (but I never used it). The fast Canon 50s have a long throw, so you need a good LTM/M adapter.
One of these days I will get me either an 85/1.8 or 100/2, more likely the 100/2.
Best,
Roland.
