Those two bodies struck me as a dream duo upon the MM's debut. Easy choice.

Date: Wed, Nov 7, 2012 7:00 pm Yes, but for the same money (within a few bucks here or there) I could have both the M9, AND the MM AND the 1.4.I'm wondering about the Nocti .95 and only having the M9 as opposed to also having the MM with summilux in low light situations. I shoot with the intent to convert to BW 95% of the time. I loved my F1 nocti but sometimes it was kind of unrequited, given all its idiosyncracies.
