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

OOOOOOHHHH. A Superwide. Would really like one, but prices remain as high as 
in film days, don't know why! I'll get one right after a digital Xpan.

I only did one big "industrial" job  (a tractor company) that I can think of
and I had a Norman 200C on camera just like I'd shoot an event... Brought a
tripod but didn't use it. As I was raining they tried to cancel it out. Mud
everywhere. I got the shot of the guy with the sparks  flying all over the
place they were happy. Made big bucks.
Would have loved to have a Hasselblad Super wide (38mm Biogon) for the
occasion. I'm getting a bare bulb head with cord for the thing. I use it
with a PocketWizard? for it so it does not blow up my various digital
cameras.
