Great to have you back Pablo, and can't wait to see some of your latest 
photos.

Hi all,

I'm back in after getting a like new look old M6 classic with a nice 
Summarit 50/1.5. I'm glad am back here too. Some of you might well remind 
me, some others don't even know me after so long off list and some others 
would still prefer I had never been back, Heheee. It's good also to hear of 
some familiar names meaning they're all still kicking around and shooting. 
And I have a question I'd mostly like to hear first hand experiences but am 
all open to all: my actual goal is a Monochrom. Unaffordable right now but 
things will be better sooner or later. I mostly do platinum palladium prints 
from digital negs. Saw the Monochrom in hands of this exceptional Portuguese 
photographer, can't recall his name now, and was also told by another friend 
I'd have to go to the big M. I do black and white 200% of the time so a M9 
wouldn't make much sense except for the price gap with the M. 
The big question: as far as I've seen the big M is much sharper than others 
because of the lack of low pass filter, is this a real truth or could I save 
some money and get a M9 and make the files to go grayscale with no issues ?

Warm regards to all in the list
Pablo

PS: I hope to help shake the tree here too
