I put a Voigtlander 25 on a Panasonic m43 and hated the experience. I came to the realization that they only digital thing I want to put M lenses on is a Leica M>7. I was sure, for years, that Zeiss would make a Cosina-made digital (inasmuch as Cosina could make an Epson digital rangefinder) but, as usual, I was wrong. Instead, they went with a Leica M1 replacement (DOH!)
