[Leica] Would you trade your M9 to go back to an M8?

[richard at richardmanphoto.com (Richard Man)]

I wasn't saying the M9 specifically, I am referring to the statement
regarding "Leica M." e.g. an M6 is still one of the most expensive film
camera around but it's "only" $1000, not $7000. If I have to sell
everything else to pay for bills, I will try to keep my M7 and the Summilux
35mm. That'd be one of the last things to go, even if I have to eat ramen
for a month. It's that simple.
