[Leica] Comparison M9, R9

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Yeah, the weight of the R8/9 DMR is its only drawback and the reason I keep 
the M8 with me all the time, but the DMR is not far away.  ;-)

I really only got the DMR so I could use my R lenses again.  I never
expected the outstanding dynamic range and color.  I should have after
looking at Doug's photos.  I only expected to use the DMR occasionally when
I wanted to do macro or needed really long lenses.  Instead, I'm picking it
up for everything (except when I need to carry it long distances!)  Have I
mentioned how wonderful the viewfinder is?  ;-)  I don't plan to carry it to
the bottom of the Grand Canyon next week, but I will pack it in my roll-on
camera bag and use it on the rim!
