Compared to its siblings the M9 looks like it's on steroids

Spot on. Borrowed from a friend. So much fun to play with. Feels at home on the M6.

Picked up this 65 M2 a few days ago, complete with 90mm collapsable Elmar. Ran a roll through it yesterday and everything looks good! It's going to make a good sidekick for my M3!

That's a beauty! … but "sidekick"?

I imagine a fantastic kit to shoot with the 90 on the M3 and a 35 on the M2 …

Thanks, menos, but the only 35mm I have is a goggled Summaron, which I don't think will work on the M2, so it'll be 90 on the M2 and 35 on the M3 for now!

On top of the usual CLA/shutter curtain replacement type stuff, I had an M4-2 finder put in with the MP antiflare kit and the 135 framelines removed. I also had the self timer and frame preview levers removed and had it all put into an MD shell.

I think you need to give a new model designation

The googled 35s will work perfectly well on the m2. It will even work on an m9 should you want. Leave the goggles on though.
