Leica M8 and M9 are rangefinder cameras, so they're fundamentally different from (D)SLRs in design. As far as sensors are concerned, both use Kodak CCD sensors that do not have antialiasing filters. The M9 is full-frame, and M8 has a 1.3X crop factor. You can read about M8 and M9, including significant differences from (D)SLRs, in Phil Askey's (p)re-views:

As far as Mamiya glasses are concerned, it is theoretically possible to mount them on an M9 through an adapter and get infinity focus. But, but because the camera is a rangefinder, you would be guessing at the focus, so practically not useful.
