[Gerry Walden]

I am fairly convinced it is a problem with the sensors which are different to others, and a problem with sharpening the images.

However in July last year I moved back to Leica after about 13 years and purchased a used M9. I had shot with Leica Ms for many years but changed when I made the decision to go digital, and Leica simply did not have a digital body, and appeared to have no intention of producing one. It cost me a lot of money to switch back but I was rapidly approaching 70 and decided if I couldn’t have what I wanted at my age it was a sad world!

I am always very careful about quality when I submit because they are pretty fussy, but I found that I was only getting about a 50% acceptance rate with the Fuji cameras, and could never work out why. The images looked fine to me on the screen. It was a real problem.
