Even if there is nothing suitable available at the moment, I would be inclined to keep the lenses until the right body comes along. Someone else has suggested the Epson R-D1, or one of the Micro 4/3rds, and I think they are good suggestions. I would be more inclined to go for the Epson because you then get the rangefinder experience if you enjoy that kind of thing. The issue you have with the sub-35mm-sized sensors is that you don't have anything much at the wide end. I have a 21mm lens for my M8, which gives the angle of view of a 28mm lens on a 35mm body but I need to use an accessory viewfinder for framing. I want an M9...
