Leica LTM Older Leica Screw "Low contrast" lenses- used digitally

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
I really like all the photos that have been shared in this thread...

It inspired me to look into possibly getting a digital camera that would accept my LTM lenses...

What is a bit disappointing is crop-factor of the M 4/3 cameras, which render a 35mm lens a "standard", and a 50 mm a "short long-focus lens"... (I 've probably oversimplified this a bit
). Thus far, my shooting style seems to be wide-angle, with my 35 Elmar or 35 Canon 1.8 almost never leaving my Leica III.

Are there any full-frame digi-cams that accept LTM lenses ?

Don't forget that there are some excellent primes for the m43 cameras. I have a 20mm (like a 40mm) f/1.7 and the results are outstanding, there are other wider primes available too.
 
I heard good things about the 20mm/1.7 for the M4/3. If you have the cash for an M9, go for it.
