And I got my very first Nikon an F2 in 1972. I thought this was a discussion about iso. Not a comparison between M's and F's. But if it is a comparison between M's and F's I'm pretty aware of them as anyone you're going to find having shot thousands of rolls with both. And digital makes it way different becuae you can shoot at way lower light with way lower shutter speeds. Don't know why. But you can. Do its hard to compare all the way back to film. If I knew how things would be going I'd have never gotten my Noctilux in 2001. Things change fast. The Sensor in the M9 just like those in the Canons and Nikon DSLR's will be upgraded soon enough. Its a continuous process. Things get better on farily regular intervals. though for some I'm sure very good reason the sensor development on the M9 is stuck a bit. The time will come soon enough with Solms announces a new sensor competitive with those in an EOS 1D Mark IV or D4 or 700. When that happens they'll not be paying top photographers to use M9's any more it will be the other way around. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Philippe Amard <philippe.amard at sfr.fr> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2012 08:50:14 +0100 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Nikon D4 > > 2 stops is what you need to get from 1/15th to 1/60 where you get less > blur with a mirror body, especially nikon BTW > ph > > Le 7 janv. 12 ? 01:16, Mark Rabiner a ?crit : > >> But we have to be up on our logarithmics.
