Yes, but I've never used one. My first impressions were that it was a Leica M pretender. I guess what I have heard about it may have been tarnished by that wrong badge type (lack of the red dot)......and may have suffered from lack of sales due to this. Contax G series stuff suffered a similar sales problem i believe.
Seriously though, if you are looking for something a bit like a Leica rangefinder camera, chances are you'll never quite be fully satisfied until you have a Leica rangefinder camera in your hands. It's a mindset
I'm also led to beleive that in some circles putting a Russian lens on a Leica is a punishable offence!
Along a different tac, I've always lusted after some of the Nikon Rangefinder gear (absolutely no way to justify it for myself tho).......
also, the Leica M fit Voigtlander 50mm f/1.1 nokton looks rather minty (which is going to test the accuracy of the finder focus calibration on any s/h body!!!)
