No. I use the M first for the body, then for the lenses. I like the feel. I like the viewfinder/rengefinder setup. I like the way it handles and the fact that it is (in Mike's words) supremely unconfusing. It does everything I want it to do, nothing I don't (excepting a bit of RF flare in certain conditions). It Leica glass came only on SLRs but Nikon made a good all-mechanical RF body & lenses I would use the Nikon. The Leica lenses are merely a splendid bonus. - -Alexey
