Subject: [Leica] M9 - not much more expensive than M8?

In the oval office
and many other documentary locations
as well.

When photo journalism was my life
I wore
Leica M's with wide and "normal" lenses
and
Nikon Ftn's with long lenses

Demand for digital changed all that
for PJ's as well as other pro shooters.

the days of RF and SLR
on the shoulders and/or necks of PJ's
have finally returned
with the M8, 8.2 and (hopefully 9).
You do and will see them
where you see PJ's working.

This does NOT
necessarily include
celebrity paparazzi,
sports galleries
or others
requiring only 300+ mm 2.8's
