Best budget lens for the leica m11 monochrom?

For a budget lens on the M11 Monochrom, I'd start with the TTArtisan 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. It's a fast standard prime that suits the camera's 60-megapixel full frame sensor, and it's the kind of lens that makes a body feel worth the money. If you'd rather go wider, the 7Artisans M 35mm f/2.8 is small and sharp enough for everyday street work, and the TTArtisan 21mm f/1.5 ASPH gives you a fast wide option.

Since this camera shoots black and white only, colour rendering doesn't matter, so focus on speed and focal length. The Leica M11 Monochrom page lists every lens that fits. For the broader reasoning on spending, see your first camera.
