Is that to say that my 50mm / f1.4 Sumilux which I bought new in the box
from Leica Hong Kong in 1972, and presently sitting on my M3, will fit
my M9 and will be totally functional in every way with the electronic /
digital capacity of the camera body ?
I disagree with you that it's not the camera that makes or breaks the
photograph unless of course you believe that your coal fired kitchen Aga
stove really does make for a better baked tortilla :-)

But it's the legendary Leica lenses that give the "glow" and the same
lenses are being used with Leica digital cameras. In spite of that, I
don't think it's the camera that makes or breaks the photograph.

Nowhere in this thread have I read that Leica's digital images are seen to
have the so called "glow" which some people say they have evinced from
Leica film camera images.

I'm reminded of "Bench Bob" and his medium-format digital backs,
Leicas and his Canons. Looking through his on-line images, I could
figure out what camera was used for almost all of the images. Without
a comparative, the Canons produced excellent results. But when
compared to the Leica and MFDB images, they appeared off. No amount of
calibration would make them look like anything different. I think that
CH Ling would agree.
It all depends on what you want to achieve - the right tool for the right
job was part of an earlier thread this week.
For instance I'm left untouched by most of the images I see from the
latest Leicas. The Monochrome above all; way too clinical; the results look
like an operation theater or an Audi interior ...
A good friend of mine used an M8 for years and I loved what he shared.
He's been using an M9 for a while and his photographs have lost part of
their soul, go figure.
But I love Bob's benches - he uses the right tools for the right job.
