I primarily bought this camera to use the 43mm wonder. But I was wondering, what is a good lens to compliment the 43?
I was thinking that the 80 would give me a nice spread but I have heard great things about the 50. My only concern is that the 50 is just a little too close to the 43 to provide the balance I am looking for.
Should I be looking to the 65 or just go for the 80?
Any advice/comments would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

the 65 would be my choice.

You don't say what you want the lens for. If it's for portrait, better take the 80mm. If it's for landscape work or street shooting, the 65mm seems better suited. But it's a matter of personal taste. Many photographers prefer the 80mm for street shooting, just like Cartier-Bresson would hardly use anything but a 50mm lens on his Leica.

I use a 43mm and an 80mm and I think it gives me a very versatile combination. I'd recommend this combination because of the dramatic difference in perspective.
Some might think the use of the viewfinder for framing with the 43mm is a hassle, but I find it actually quite natural. Yes, it's slower than just focusing ... but hey, why be in a hurry. If you were in a hurry you'd be shooting digital!
