    I use the Digital M8 and M9. Though I own 6 M3's, 2 M6 TTL's, 1 M7 and six Hexar RF's. And a few of them even have film in them, so I often pack one into my bag whenever I head out.

    Whether you use Leica M3, or any other M based film rangefinder (Including Voigtlander Bessa) you will get the same result. What matters is the film and the lens that you attach to the camera. The camera is just a box with a shutter and a viewfinder.

    To answer the OP, I don't have M9 but I'm very happy with my M8. I used to shoot with Pentax between 2006-2010 but sold it all and bought into Leica. Currently have Zeiss 25mm f/2.8 Biogon, Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH II (FLE), Leica 50mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH. I shoot film as well with a Voigtlander Bessa R2A.

    Why are you buying such high quality lenses and wasting their potential on a crop body?

    Had an M9, sold it, will be selling my M8 soon, great cameras but I can't justify the $$$ for the amount I photograph. Im very happy with using a NEX-5 with rangefinder glass instead and an M2 with film

    I bought a Leica M8.2 at the start of the year, I carry it everywhere with me and have been photographing almost exclusively with it. Really enjoy it a lot more than my Canon 7D. Oddly enough I have a Panasonic LX5 compact which I have enjoyed immensely as well. I used to carry that around everywhere before purchasing the Leica.

    The x100 looks awesome! Can't wait to see real world samples from it

    I had a look at some the the Fuji X100 samples and to my eyes they looked good for out of camera jpeg files. But I feel it's raw output in ACR will be a real test of the overall image quality.
