I would love one but, like many, find the cost to be prohibitive. The idea of a M9 makes more sense to me with the decreasing amount of choices as far as color stock goes. Tri-X is still around and probably will be for a good while, I don't think a digital Leica is going to beat a film Leica with Tri-X (or Acros, or whatever emulsion you prefer). Color, however, can be trumped with digital.
If I had tons of disposable income I'd have a M9 and M9M, after getting the 21mm Summilux, unfortunately those are all out of my reach. Fortunately for Leica I'm not part of the market to which they cater. In my opinion Leica was once expensive because it was great, now it feels like Leica is great because it's expensive. It's less a working photographer's tool than a luxury item to denote wealth. Not putting any value judgements on that, it's just clear where I fall out of those two categories.
Maybe once I become a DP I'll get a M12.
