I'm shooting a Leica MP with a 50mm Summilux ASPH. I've heard the same about the M3, but I wanted a new body, and preferred to have an internal light meter.
I agree too many people buy the "best" of something without understanding how to use it. Months ago I was at a camera store in NYC looking at lenses when a guy came in to pick-up a brand new Noctilux lens ($10k, f/0.95) for his new M9. He asked the salesperson for confirmation, "So, this is the best lens for my camera right? I want the top of the line." It was disgusting. He didn't understand anything about focal length or why such a fast lens is beneficial or why you don't want such a gigantic, niche lens as your main glass. He just cared that it was the "best." I can only assume the idiot doesn't even realize his M9 isn't an SLR.
Been discovering a lot of the photos I like were done medium format but I need to get better with what I've got before plunging into new gear. Crane's, post results!
Testing out wide apertures on the 28mm I picked up

Got an example of this "inches off the ground" type shot?
Shore,
I realize that was just a test shot, but I think you missed the focus on that one. With wide apertures, it's critical to nail the focus. If the focus point was an inch or two back (on the stigma), I think it would have resulted in a much nicer image.
From NYC this past weekend:
