Tina,

First at all thanks for post this, for all of us is much more useful  
your test than the pictures with advertising or promotional purposes.

In my first look, I principally apreciate that the pictures with the  
M9 are more flat, I think in English the LUG says "washed out", MM is  
more rich and contrasted, also more rich in shadows and higjlights  
detail, in other words, better Density Range, MM looks more sharp.

My self question is once you have work in either I think that these  
differences will become less noticiables, except in sharpness and  
using high ISO.

Please don't be worried if I ask myself it it pays the the money...,  
IMHO I think we would see more difference comparing MM/film or M9/ 
film, I know, these are two different things and the actual trends  
seems that are going to the digital way, much more comfortable to use,  
but myself I can't avoid my personnal point of view considering that  
is not easy afford such camera.

Very interesting effort, thank you again Tina

Saludos
Lluis
