Just like with Fuji, you can get adapters that allow the use of vintage non-m-mount lenses on a Leica M.

And if I'm nos mistaken, if they are not rangefinder lenses you can't focus properly with the Leica

Do you have any idea how many rangefinder lenses there are? When I had my M9, I  started collecting vintage 50mm lenses. I had 10, maybe more from before the M or even SLRs existed and I wasn't even close to scratching the surface. just about all were screw mount style lenses of one type or another.  The adapters provide what they need to work with the focus cam and they all worked perfectly fine on my M9.
