I appreciate you being able to voice your opinion, but based on what I've seen you post (maybe one image over 3 years?) I'm not sure you are backing up your opinion with any?evidenced experience. Actually, your comment sounds a bit like a conversation that begins, "Well, you see?I have this?"friend" who only shoots pigeons..." So show us your pigeon shots :-) Bob PS - Jeff, congrats on the new baby! Have fun shooting it; more than some do around here... ?Bob Adler Palo Alto, CA http://www.raflexions.com ________________________________ From: Frank Filippone <red735i at earthlink.net> To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Tue, December 8, 2009 6:57:54 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] The M9 is here! The M9 is here! I don?t know about harsh, but if I see 2,234,534,234 images of sweepy-brush things, I am going to think you need to have a life. My buddy still takes pictures of pigeons.?

By the time the camera came in and I got out the door on this, the first day I've had it, I had about an hour of watery grey winter light left.? I kind of like the paired yellow/green subjects I stumbled across.? And as for the Noctilux, I bolted it on the camera because it's been a challenge to love on the M8, and I wanted to see if I had a higher hit rate with the M9 for any reason.? It's not like I went out and *bought* a Noctilux to take digital pictures of sweepy-brush things, I bought it years ago when it was my magical secret way to get to use film with tighter grain than T-Max 3200 even in dim bo?tes. You don't like the light on those bristles, or the stoplight/hanger/building pattern?? I thought they were pretty neat. Here, would you prefer a nice picture of a laughing Tony Shalhoub being interviewed by a man in his underwear? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jbm0/4159338282/sizes/o/in/set-7215762281327216 7/ I got those, too. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
