Take a look at this post on LUF where the conversions were made with C1 instead and the M9 doesn't look nearly as bad as with LR 4.3. FWIW, I also tried it with RPP and it looked similar to LR (a couple posts farther down in that thread).
In his version, I definitely prefer M9's output. it seems has better sharpness per pixel. (hopefully, I put it right for what I mean) His M240 file looks over sharpened.
Leica M9's file has crisp look I don't see in my D700 or even D800E.(in this case M240) But I guess I need work on my sharpening skill
Ryan, my 75 Lux's calibration is now spot on, and is one of last ones from Germany. IMO it has the best focus throw of any lenses I have had to date. For this reason alone, when shooting portraits, I will take out the 75 Lux over the 90 Cron AA. Purely ergonomics and MFD, and you have the ability frame near portraits identical to the 90 Cron AA.
Michael, wonderful color palette to your shots!
Ron, very nice shots with the 75 Lux compared to the 90 Summarit! I find your comparisons with the M and M9 very interesting! I still have C1 Pro, and have used it exclusively for the M9 files, until LR4 came out. Looking at some of the results I may still it for PP'ing the M9 files!!
Allen, excellent portrait I think the M-M will be around for along time to come, as no camera will achieve quite the same look. I do hope they come out with profiles for the M-M as this will extend PP'ing ability of the DNG files!!
A shot from the archives with the 75 Lux, even at f/5.6, it is important to have the calibration accurate at near, mid and far. ( PP'd with C1 Pro)
Thanks Charles! When I first was setting up my kit I avoided 75mm as I felt it was a little too close to 50mm to be my far end. Now that my Nikon's sit unused 95% of the time, thinking a 35/75 combo would be a nice (fairly) light walk around kit that would serve me in most family outings.
I am travelling right now. So I am on the iPhone. That is a stunning image, superb!!

Andrew and Gary, thank you for the kind words
Gary, excellent images! Love the 28 Elmarit, and I would really like the try the 50 Cron V4 too Great colors with thel PP'ing too.
Another two shots with the 75 Lux, from the same afternoon First stopped down to f/5.6, and the other at f/2.8
Ron, I really like the #2 by 75lux.
Charles, Really love the surfer on the top one and 2nd shot from 75lux. Now I am start dreaming that 80lux again
Gary, beautiful set, #3 and 4 are my fav.
Allen, I like both portrait. I wish the 2nd one without focus error on face.
Just did a 100% crop of the one I posted. its was the low res full image that I posted that was the one on my desktop 150 DPI at 12 X 8. Thats the same image I uploaded to photobucket. Its so hard to judge sharpness from a photobucket 100kb Jpg in my opinion.
Phil, Winston and Michael, thank you
Allen, wonderful strong portrait!! Yes it is so hard to judge the performance of some lenses on the desktop I find this often with the 50 Nocti f/1.0, not necessarily sharp on the web, but very sharp on full size prints.
Michael, love those two shots!
Ron, love your Toronto set and excellent b/w conversions.
Redisburning, the ZM 35 is optimized for infinity, but the sharpness drop off is much lower than on the ZE 35/2.
Zhangyue, very nice portraits on the previous page, and the horse shots on this one.
Allen, nice work with the MM, especially the old man's portrait.
Charles, love the gloomy heavy atmosphere in your beach shots. Excellent PP.
Gary, nice set. Last shot is my favourite.
Edwin, last shot is a great moment.
