On film, I use 35/75.
On the M8, that translates to 24/50 (=32/67)
My wife uses 18/50 on film. If she used digital (which she doesn't like), that would be 24/35 (=32/47). Her former preferred combination was 28/90, for which the equivalents would be 21/75 on an M8 (in terms of what's actually available -- multiplied-out equivalents to 21/75 are 28/100).
It's so desperately personal that no-one can really tell you, but from your pics, I'd advise either 50 or 75; not 90.
Look at our site for the kind of pics we shoot.
Cheers,
Roger

I like the 90 Elmarit M. It's sharp, small and not too long. If the frame lines were better, I'd consider a 75, but they suck (the lines, not the lens).
If you pick up a good used tele-elmarit 90, you might be able to get a good used 50 summicron to go along with it for less than you would pay for a 75 summarit.
