Personally, Aram, I'm currently terrifically happy that I have kept all my
Leica R glass.
The R8/DMR has handled them with grace and gorgeous results;
and now the M has returned them to their full frame potential.
While the EVF has taken some getting used to;
it's far from unworkable.
My experience trying to use the R glass on the 10D, 20D and 5D
was horrible by comparison; except under the most ideal conditions.
The EVF with focus assist allows even stopping down in poor light;
and the M ISO performance works in almost every condition I shoot in;
especially with the wonderful wide open performance of Leica glass.
I'd still love to have a full frame Leica DSLR;
yet the M is certainly no slouch with ANY M or R lens;
so far.
Next up 35 mm R Summilux.
