Yee Haw! :-) Now I still believe in my M8! I don't have any choice! :-) HOWEVER the M9???? Holy Cow that is a camera and half super machine! :-) As soon as I down loaded the 28mm asph. Elmarit images shot for the TV production as their cameraman was taping me, "IN ACTION SHOOTING"! I immediately saw the difference! I couldn't believe it, quite a MAJOR difference without question! Am I going to now rush out and buy one????? Unfortunately at this time in my economic life?????? ....... No! :-) Once again pointing that the digital era and the LEICA M9 are unfortunatly 50 years too late for an old fart like myself! :-) But those of you using an M9 know what I'm talking about without question. Yes the M8 is still a great machine without question and I've been extremely pleased with my up to date results. However the M9? Sorry folks it is in a higher capture bracket class than the M8! But then that's life, no need to get into great crying fits .............. ! If you don't have one! Maybe some day, as in the days of film and always wanting the best until we could afford them! :-) cheers, Dr.ted :-)
