The LUG can be a very?harsh place, if you're not part of the "in-crowd."?Welcome to the "out-crowd". ? I understood that you had just plunked some serious cash for your M9 and were excited to use it and show off the results. What the hell's wrong w/ that? ?

Aw, c'mon, that's a little harsh!? By the time the camera came in and I got out the door on this, the first day I've had it, I had about an hour of watery grey winter light left.? I kind of like the paired yellow/green subjects I stumbled across.? And as for the Noctilux, I bolted it on the camera because it's been a challenge to love on the M8, and I wanted to see if I had a higher hit rate with the M9 for any reason.? It's not like I went out and *bought* a Noctilux to take digital pictures of sweepy-brush things, I bought it years ago when it was my magical secret way to get to use film with tighter grain than T-Max 3200 even in dim bo?tes. You don't like the light on those bristles, or the stoplight/hanger/building pattern?? I thought they were pretty neat. Here, would you prefer a nice picture of a laughing Tony Shalhoub being interviewed by a man in his underwear? ? http://www.flickr.com/photos/jbm0/4159338282/sizes/o/in/set-72157622813272167/ I got those, too. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
