Make sure you get the S or N version of the 35, the C version is not as good.
The 55\'s a real gem as is the 120 macro. And try the 80/1.9 too.
I personally own the 55/2.8 N, 80/1.9 C, 80/2.8 C and 150/3.5 C. Of course I also happen to shoot M645 kit.
I was about to say everything mawz said: there\'s someone who has tested them thoroughly!
As long as you get a late 35mm, it\'s a fine lens. Skip the 45mm, which I found to be weak, and go for a late 55/2.8 - again N only. The 50/4 shift is also superb for resolution, and brings another 15mm shift to the table - in addition to the Mirex\' movements. Watch for flare, though.
Personally, I don\'t rate the 80/2.8; the f1.9 is cute (if something of a high speed novelty) - but the real star here is the 80/4 Macro which is wonderful and much undervalued. The well regarded 120/4 Macro deserves its already strong reputation. Also well worth seeking out is the \'legendary\' 200mm Apo: not cheap, but a bargain still.
