If I had to choose I would think the M9 looked like Tri-X without the grain, and the MM looked like TMax. Tell us which you prefer, if you like one better that is. Also, for the M9 did you shoot in color and convert to B&W, or in jpg with the B&W setting? I prefer the M9, but that is probably because I already bought one.
