Just like you, I am recent convert to Leica M. I started shooting pics when my dad gave me a beat up F2 with busted meter when I was 15. Couple of years later, bought an F4. Last year, I bought my first M. Although I still use my F4/SB26 combo for flash photography, the M is now what I use most of the time. The 50 s'lux is my favorite lens. If I am carrying 2 bodies, 35/75 is my preferred combo.
