[Leica] Would M9 work well with these lenses?

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

There's no reason to think that those models won't be good enough. Of
course individual lenses might be in different conditions but If you like
their results on good film stock they should be great on the M9 too. If you
do get the M9 I'd suggest that you get the 21mm coded.
I don't know anything about the Canon one. Should be fun to try though.


Cheers
