Well, yes and no. Looks interesting, but with 43mm it might be a little arkward to use on the M9 (or any other Leica M). Remember that you do the composition with the help of (fixed) frame lines in the viewfinder. There are frame lines for 35 and 50mm, so the lens sits somewhere inbetween. But I guess it just needs some practice to get used to this... in the end, it's just a little more "guessing" than you'd have to do anyway, the rangefinder framelines are not overly precise, at least with medium and long focal lengths.
