I would suggest setting up a likely portrait subject and check the framing of the M8 without a lens. Just use the frame preview. Unless you want tight head shots a 90mm might be too long. But only you know what perspective you want. I have a friend that shoots his portraits with a 300mm. I would think the 90 Summicron would go nicely for your ballet shots and maybe even a little short for the soccer. You certainly can't go wrong with a 50 for all three scenarios.
