From my limited trials with an SL I was disappointed that my 21 SEM and 28 Cron (first version) did not perform as well in respect to edge sharpness, as on the M240.
I haven't paid much attention, but this is new and pretty disappointing to me...
If a mini-SL is really a version of SL camera and sensor, there is no choice for those 2 lenses
which I own and like and want to use more often - but get the new M10.
What we do know is that Leica made new versions of the M 28 cron ASPH, the M 28 elmarit ASPH, and the M 35 cron ASPH last year to make them "more compatible with digital." I always thought those revisions were so that the new lenses would work better with the upcoming M10. I suspect that if you have the older versions of these lenses, you might not be fully happy with their performance on the M10. That is just a guess, however. We shall see before too long I am sure.
Edit: Said another way, I think the M10 will perform well with all the currently shipping M lenses, but I would be cautious about older lenses. I suspect some won't work as well as some may like.
According to my information the cover glass is designed for maximum performance with M glass.

According to my information the cover glass is designed for maximum performance with M glass. It is certainly not thicker like the SL, and the effective thickness must be similar or better than the M240.
