One lens for my M2, what is the choices ?

I got my recently purchased M2 in the mail yesterday and i am totally out on what lens would be the best for it.
I would like a summicron 35/2, but those prices is waaaaay out of reach for me.
I have used a nokton 40/1.4 some years ago when i had use of an M6, don't generally like the feel and build quality of those cosina/voigtländer lenses. So what choices is there for me, it must be sharp, i hate soft lenses.
On my Olympus OM i have used mainly a 50mm, so how come i feel like i need a small 35mm lens for the Leica?

I have tonight for testing picked up on canon 35/1.8 lens, but i dont like the long focus throw on this one, allthough the lens seemed fairly sharp all ready pn f2.8 and nice on f5.6, but the feel is awkward on this one.

Those Zeiss Biogon looks nice and should be great performers, also for slidefilm. They are a bit out of my budget and i just cant put out more than 300 € on the lens (cant buy from outside EU as this will grow the purchase with around 30% due to taxes and customs), so is there any other lenses i should check out?

I dont want a soft lens or some terrible bokeh like some lenses seems to create.
