I had a 90mm Summicron for a while that I used with the M3 with mixed success. The problem was often camera shake. I tend to put myself in situations where 1/30 at f2 was the only choice so camera movement with the 90 was the limiting factor. Another big plus for me for the HM vs the M3 (and probably the major factor) was the M3 doesn't have the 75mm frame lines. My success rate with the 75 at 1.4 with the HM as been pretty good, so I am a happy camper.
