I have seen many paid photographers doing portrait type work with a digital M. It is a capable tool which can produce stunning results in the right hands. I would also second the suggestions to start with your current setup and see where it takes you. You will likely upgrade a few lenses and perhaps switch to an M9 - who really knows. Keep in mind that some of these older lenses can limit your results and/or flexibility in certain situations. Sure you can get away with them but there may (or may not) be better options available for a little extra cash. Above all, take your time and don't rush out and buy a ton of gear right away...
