HiYa Bill,
   I would refer you to the "M8 and Old Glass" thread on the L-Camera Forum in 
regards to using Screw Mount lenses on current digital leica cameras.

Rob,

I remember because the M4 I inherited from my dad in 1973 had a 135mm Hector SM 
lens with an adapter to enable it to be mounted in an M-mount camera. You can 
still buy such an adapter today and use your SM lenses on M bodies, all the way 
to M9 I believe, though I'm not sure about the M9; it may be M-mount only.

So, the M-Mount did not obsolete all the SM lenses. SM owners went on using 
them.

Others will know more about it than me.

Best,

Bill
