I have an extensive palette of Leica lenses that I enjoy to use, on the other hand I?m used to use an optical viewfinder with rangefinder manual focusing, in adition I?m a Leica user from 1978, for all these reasons I think that my decision will be send my camera to Kolaris, this will be the cheaper decision and the more comfortable for my work, I like the rendition of the M9 and this camera give me all I need, I can?t spend the money of a M10 or M11, if in the future I have the possibility to buy another camera it will be an M3, I really love that camera! I am genetically a film user and for me I consider that my digital experience was a mistake. I am very happy with my old junk! Thank you very much to all for your advices, I really appreciate your comments and your time, the most important for me has been receive your good opinions about the Kolaris service. Kindest regards to all!
