Pros: Ease of use, beauty, m glass yield, user experience, construction, grain quality

Cons: display, (machissene), slowness, addictive

Opinion: I have been prevaricating for years, I have lost years of guduria because I read on the forums of the negatives such as iso rendering, seniority of the project, display, slowness etc. well... I'm not interested in making birds, sports or anything like that. I'm not interested in shooting in the dark at night without tripod. I have a Big Mpx Sony ff with its lenses... I don't need to cover all genres. Grip, put in hand and at the shot seems to blow despite the noise, it is brass and feels, how stabilizes the shutter and DOES NOT close the vision not being the eye where the curtain goes down... you seem to be looking at the scene that shoots, ready and operational by looking much more and predicting what happens if you follow certain situations or if you want to compose differently. The manual maf, you learn immediately and, I am serious, I do not get more than 2 or 3 for every 100 shooting with a 40 1.2... Technological limitations I don't see.. indeed if I place some photos on highly rated forums abroad I receive as a comment that "the M9 still splits" or highly rated characters who after taking it, want to try it and declare "I have M9, M10R and A7R IV but keep reaching for the former! There is something about its files and camera simplicity that speaks to me. All capable of great images." It is not clear if it is the ccd, the type of ccd, or what else.. but despite having 10 years of serious digital behind me, I always prefer these images to everything else up to 800 iso.. and very often at 2500 ISO GODO for the random grain typical of ccd. ONLY what comes out of the Merrill does differently and makes you enjoy the same but we know the other limits. Optical chapter? A 28mm like the Voigtlander ultron mkii at TA smashes even at equal quality mpx (m10r) against a closed 24gm on Sony.. What do you mean? That this medium is also the richest platform in my opinion to enjoy the best lenses ever made, whether they are Leica or Cosina... the blurry quality for the very thin sensor stack and microleaches is embarrassing. If I mount a biogon I have a 3d side rendering that I dream of anywhere else. I mean, needless to say. I just regret having hesitated so much and today I am much happier with a revised M9 than I would have been of an m240 or m10.... precisely because if I look at those numbers that the new ones improve, I would be wrong having something else like Sony by my side.

Pros: Unique quality of files. There is the essentials for great photos.

Cons: For photography: nothing!

Opinion: If we run after technological innovations, we risk neglecting the essence of photographic art. This machine with a few objectives gives us the opportunity and the opportunity to create and focus on the essentials. To capture with good results events, events, images, memories .... technologically advanced devices such as mobile phones or machines with millions of pixels. From my many years of experience I have come to the conclusion that this machine, the Leica M9, is the optimal means to get the best photographic results. I do not want to disincentivise the race behind technological innovations is certainly an interesting and in some ways rewarding activity. But to make good photographs you have to focus on much more and the Leica M9 is an extraordinary means for this. A warm greeting from an old tech enthusiast, but above all photography. Caesar M.

Pros: So many if it fits our logic of photographic medium

Cons: So many if it does not fit into the personal logic of photographic means.

Opinion: I've been waiting for it to become my full-fledged vehicle. From beginning hard to understand. The habit of all the automations of the recent reflex immediately creates a dam between loving and hading it. It takes time. Now I can say it's the ultimate machine for me. Leica is marketing a megapixel-based policy with the latest M series... absurd for so many reasons, one out of all the history of this model. The M9 remains unique and will remain forever. For everything else, there are the unbridled chases to the technology.

Pros: Constructive Quality, File Yield, Simplicity of Use, M Optical Quality, Bella crazy in Black Paint.

Cons: Maybe the display but I don't use it

Opinion: I arrived at the Leica M9 passing by the M8 with a lot of qualms having read of some experiences in black and white less exhilarating than the M8. Since I hardly use the color profile I found an opportunity to buy it and I caught it. I've never regretted it since. Describing its build quality might be superfluous, it would be like boasting that a Roll's Royce is built well... and we'd also miss it. It is heavy but at the same time very balanced, the viewfinder I find second only to the M3, had in the past, but we are perfect. The quality of the photos... I can only say that I am always excited. Mind you, we always talk about black and white. Infinite shades of gray (other than 50...), deep blacks and that feeling in whites that only the film could return me. On everything, however, the approach wins. A way of living photography more "thought", without the kind of anxiety from a thousand shots that I have always tried with other systems. The display may be the only weak point because certainly much less performing than the current ones but I don't care because I never use it in fact I keep it covered using a leather back cover that give it an amazing vintage look, from old film machine. Another detail that makes a difference to me... material. Brass painted in black that reappears in the beading and in the places where it is most handled... Wow!!! It's a machine that I don't recommend at all, actually... it has to like the telemeter and a certain approach to photography and the only risk factor as far as I'm concerned is the Monochrom CCD. But she can hardly be ousted from her throne.

Pros: Sensor, construction, feeling, simplicity, slow Park,

Cons: Macro, LCD (just pretend you have an MD)

Opinion: Having had and sold a M8 and an M9 I regained a M9-P a week ago. I had a short period "Canon" with a 5D and a 5D mkII with optics the likes of 35L 1.4 and 24-70 L 2.8 But I could not get out of her head. It's the feeling you feel with a Leica that, as far as I'm concerned, is priceless. Iso for me more than enough, even at 2500 with a bit of mastery pulls out of the files that recall the film and having started with the film more than 20 years ago, for me is the maximum. Recommended only to those who know what is buying and only after having tried it. I use it paired with a Summicron-C 40mm F2, focal for me perfect.
