Keith, great articles. Thanks for the tip. I have been thrilled with my M9 for most shooting even in studio. For macro shots, my canon gear is much better, but I do use a Leica 60mm R lens half of the time now. Last year I went to Sedona and Grand Canyon with a bag full of canon gear!!! It was very heavy...

I would love to have the option. Right now I have my SLR gear or my Polaroids. haha

It is just a matter of priority shifting... I sold most of my canon lenses (L), and a 5DMkII to help finance Leica gear so I would not be in the dog house! BTW, Polaroid cameras have unique image quality. Tri

Thanks, Jerry! Some really amazing stuff in there! It is probably for the best that I cannot find an M9 even if I could afford it.

One of the nicest landscape cameras I've had my hands on!

You guys are killin me. Great shots. I will be shooting with an M6 this weekend and a 35mm Summilux (I think). A friend's dad is being very generous and loaning it to me.

You will be hooked. Try some at f/1.4. Have fun... Tri
