Last year we were in Salzburg for the summer, and last month we were in Washington to celebrate my 60th birthday with friends and relatives. Last year I took my M8.2 and a Olympus E-P1, this year I had changed to M9 and E-P2 (for the viewfinder). I found I used the Leica almost all the time. With the E-P1 and Leica lenses I found manual focus and framing with the monitor screen on the back to give much poorer results than the M8, and the controls and ergonomics of the Oly are not as intuitive as the Leica (to me). Last month I also found the Leica got much more use than the Olympus. Unless I wanted the reach (I had the 14-140 panasonic zoom with me) I found there was nothing about the Olympus which made me want to use it in place of the Leica. When I got home I was glad I had used the M9 for almost everything since the quality difference is marked. Just IME.
