Dynamic range (single shot) and subtlety in tones with film (scanned FP4+)
is something I have not managed to match with my M9, but otherwise it
matches my Hasselblad stuff.

The recent "Sunburst" image I put on my website
(http://www.paulroark.com/) is a Tech Pan, Bronica RF645 shot. For shots
like this that take extreme dynamic range (even though Sunburst was itself a
2-exposure combo), I'm not sure digital can compete yet.
Overall, the Tech Pan frames hold up very well to the M9. I suspect my
Nikon 8000 is the limiting factor.
So, overall, I'm sufficiently sold on the M9 that, in fact, I'm going to be
selling off the Bronica RF645 and my remaining 39 rolls of
(frozen) 120 Tech Pan (and Technidol developer).
