Hello All, I recently bought an M3 and two lenses - Summicron 50 mm f/2 and Summaron 35mm f/2.8, all in great shape. I love film but I am considering an M9. Will I be disappointed with these older lenes on a digital camera? Are the newer ones made specifically to work with digital cameras? I am not a professional and new to Leica. My main cameras are Nikon D3, D200 and Rolleiflex. I may have a hard time justifying getting an M9 if I will have to update my lenses. Considering the Q, if that is the case. I see there is an amazing amount of experience on this forum. Thanks for any insights.

I keep on hearing very contradictory opinions on this. Somebody says that older lenses just do not render on an M8 and that the new asphericals are the way to go; somebody else says that the new aspherical lenses, do not retain detail due to their higher contrast because the glass is of a much lower quality altogether. Then, of course there also is that "old magic" issue that many talk about... What do you guys think?
