For FF or the M8? I presume the M8. So:

 

WATE, 35 Lux Asph, 75 Lux.

 

Probably. The 50 Lux Asph is probably my favorite lens, but on the M8 it is awkward. For the FF M9, I would choose:

 

28 Cron Asph, 50 Lux Asph, 90 Cron Asph

 

or maybe trade the 28 Cron Asph for the 24 Elmarit Asph.

Noctilux, 35mm 'cron pre-ASHP version IV, and 24mm Elmarit

 

After having tried a number of other lenses as well, these will remain my core group for a long time to come.

I agree.

 

I'd also sneak in the 75 Summicron, which is an amazing lens.

IF I ought to have 3 lenses only for M8 ....

 

WATE, Lux 35 ASPH, Summicron 75... and I haven't any of them :)

 

 

IF I ought to keep only 3 of the lenses I have

 

Elmarit 21 Asph, Summilux 35 pre-asph, Summarit 75... but do not throw away the others...:)

Three lenses? WATE, 35mm Lux, 75mm 2.5

This would be my travel set. Yeah I'd love everything to be 1.0 or 1.4 but the size and weight aren't worth it even if a fast WATE were made.

All this lusting for the 75 lux by others concerns me. It is very heavy, and very difficult to focus at f1.4. Now with 1.3x the equivalent that's a 97.5mm, even harder to focus with a rangefinder of small base.

35/1.4 Asph, 50 Noct, 75 lux

 

Classic combo for film bodies, which work greart for M8 as well. 28/2.0 A would be the 4th lens, to give the M8 a bit more of a mid-wide amngle option.

my thoughts exactly, although i would be happy with a 28/2.8 instead of the 2.0. small size is really a plus for that lens ;)

Tough - I actually have 7 and use them all. But if I really could only take 3:

 

M8: 15mm C/V, 28 Summicron, 90 TE(thin) f/2.8

 

24 x 36: 21 Elmarit PreASPH, 35 'cron PreASPH (would have to buy one), 90TE(thin)

 

On the sidelines for special uses: 50 'cron, 90 'cron preASPH, 135 f/4 TE
