[Leica] a "pro-hobbyist" evaluates an M9 . . . ICK

[richard at richardmanphoto.com (Richard Man)]

Paul is of course a master of masters before he owns that Leica M.

Some of my best Monument Valley images were done HDR style and
surprisingly, the M9 is really easy to for that purpose. But this one:

is a single exposure handheld even. It prints really nicely even on 17x22.
The tonal range would be even better with an Alpa, 4x5, or 8x10 of course,
but from a 35mm camera, it's pretty darn nice.

Nevertheless, I just submitted a small portfolio to somewhere, and one
image pops out beating out all others:

The sharpness is biting and put the M9 images in its place. This one was
taken with a Mamiya 7II with the 150mm lens.
