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.

Pros: Excellent file quality, robust, beautiful, colors.

Cons: Monitor

Opinion: I have a few months that I have this jewel, taken at a great price due to the sensor not replaced, has some speckle on the sensor, but I prefer to keep it so, replace a sensor in my opinion is not easy and I do not trust, not even from the parent. Wonderful file quality, are very special, I matched 35 Nokton Voight, Zeiss 25, Leica Summicron 90, 135 Tele Elmar, all give excellent results, I think the CCD still says its, pity it was not developed over time. Previously I had the M6, I always liked the Telemtro, I think after a little ' exercise, the MF becomes simple and fast. Too nice to use, you want to always carry it with you, then every shot we find poetry, sensor always very resolute, and depth of excellent color. I just wanted to remind those who have compiled the technical data sheet, that there is only one type of measurement, the central medium, without the possibility of intervening

Pros: size, minimalist, FF sensor, CCD, a few buttons, menus on a page, silent, optical viewfinder.

Cons: LCD slow and resolute little, write buffer and limited reading, Iso limited.

Opinion: It 'a very special car, still capable (given his age) to give you unique emotions and sensations because of its CCD sensor without filter AA.rnDimenticate the automatism of the Japanese, this is a machine that can make you think about how to compose and focus correttamente.rnCapisco sure unit is not for everyone, but this car after a while that you use from addictions, and color rendering is unica.rnrnHo had in years of M multiple optical system, but I think the Leica M being simple in its system, simplification requires the use of lenses. So I recommend a few slow but good. The M9 with 35mm Cron is the perfect combination of simplicity, quality, minimalism.

Pros: Construction, image quality, size, held in the second-price, CCD sensor.

Cons: Display, high iso, possible delamination of the sensor.

Opinion: The first Leica digital ff could only be a masterpiece, even considering the "gym" made by the Royal House with the M8. The building is at the top, either as material or as aesthetics and the image quality is not compromised, as long as you shots at low ISO (say no more than 320). The details returned by the CCD sensor is impressive, although I noticed that the M9 has more saturated colors than the M8; I honestly prefer those of sister, as long as you mount the IR filter on obiettivi.rnPer remain on the sensor can be said of the delamination problem is solved by Leica warranty; the service is slow (6-8 weeks) but the body returns to it in his hand almost like new, with an internal cleaning and calibration of the rangefinder always welcome and to date the repair is definitiva.rnIl purchase price is slightly higher than that a recent Japanese ff, but the MMT estate is much higher. rnChe say, if you like and know how to use the rangefinder, if you're tiredAF, stabilizers, gusts, guns and photographic genres practiced by you dont allow the M9 is the best there is in circulation with investments all things considered moderate. Coupled with extraordinary Leitz optics of the past (iv Summicron 35mm, NOCTILUX f1, Summilux 75mm) is capable, in expert hands, to turn a click into poetry.

Pros: CCD sensor, full frame, beauty, strength, quality, leica M bayonet, rangefinder

Cons: High cost of the used, low resistance to high ISO, LCD obscene

Opinion: The best digital camera I've ever had, in terms of yield cromatica.rnI dng are fabulous, ready to use, very tridimensionali.rnIl camera body is first class quality without compromessi.rnrnDi contrast, the yield is at high iso bad and forces who set off at night to work at full aperture objectives with very bright (and expensive) also made the LCD monitor is borderline dell'indecenza.rnrnLa lack of autofocus lenses and pushed the machine makes a very sectoral, not It is suitable for everyone.

Pros: Silent and robust Full Frame, essential enough, minimalist approach photography. The quality of the files is undisputed. The CCD sensor, without the anti-aliasing filter, makes the most of an excellent optical park. The focus rangefinder allows you to use it even in the dark, where it always works and accurately. Possibility of usar times well below the safety time, considering the very small vibrations due to the absence of movement of the mirror.

Cons: It 'possible that the focus rangefinder not like it at all, as well as the almost complete lack of automation. It lacks a mechanism for cleaning the sensor. The change of the memory card and the battery is cumbersome, because it involves the removal of the metal bottom. Yield high ISO little effective, although the noise is quite pleasant and assimilable with ease to the grain of a film. Firmware is not perfect. High price, but there is talk of a flagship for its category.

Opinion: I dropped a few years ago a Japanese world full frame, made of super zoom and autofocus and chilate of stuff, to arrive home and indulge a Leica my desire to photograph extremely controlled and ragionata.rnE 'essential, the M9, like all Leica M. If you do not master the photographic technique can not make us beautiful foto.rnSi is almost a return to the roots, sometimes even touching: hyperfocal focus manually (when you get familiar with the rangefinder becomes fast), aperture and shutter. The depth of the field need to know from you, because there is no way to know, during shooting. And then there are the lenses Leitz, a system eccellente.rnNon never get tired of holding it, if only for the sake of it, and it becomes an extreme pleasure to wait for the right moment to shoot. Almost as much as it is captured. Maybe close to your subject, without this you see or hear you. You can be invisible if desired. Discreet and efficace.rnFotografare with the Leica M, the M8 to the M9 that I still use, it helped me to regain possession of that deartteristica that the street photographer or reportage, which brings you to predict what will happen just before and shoot at the right time. It 's very easy, with a Leica M to the eye, being able to see what is happening around you and above your subject, because you have a free eye and especially a lot of space in mirino.rnLa made in black and white CCD is excellent. It is also in color, to be sure, but it does not interest me anymore, for a long time now.

Pros: Many, perhaps too many, give him a hammer as he did with his Michelangeo Moses.

Cons: Managing high ISO (resolved with version Monochrom and M240), do not digest well all SD, battery life limitata.rnCosto Charity is not a counter.

Opinion: The essence of a hundred years of history Leica land on FF M9, the M9-P differs only in matters estetiche.rnE 'the machine that makes it better, in my opinion, the color rendering, the most faithful and to realistica.rnCCD low ISO still has today, four years after its launch, the more material you can return, than CMOS version of the 240 is made attuale.rnOttima ASPH lens that spherical, of course the first pull the neck most of the sensor, but the second retain all their charm, especially for lower contrast in BW and more creamy bokeh, especially the Noctilux, 35 and 75Lux of Madleriana memoria.rnGran machine, get one used today can be a bargain, stop wearing Kg and Kg in shoulder DSLR and "change" life. Try it!

Pros: Quality to date reference with the original optics (series aspherical) immediacy of use (nuts exposure time, aperture and focus, and that's it)

Cons: maf telemetry difficult for those not used to it - poor yield above 800 ISO - poor battery life - phenomena of sudden freeze - you can not make close-up shots and shooting with telephoto lenses pushed (like any unit to unit) - no system sensor cleaning (and mirror ...) - sporadic appearance of moiré subjects textured fine - slow overall operation and writing in particular - resolution display very modest in relation to the cost of the camera and the quality of the files to check - cost disproportionate (camera and lenses)

Opinion: I used 2 M9 for a couple of years, with the original goals 21/2, 8 ASPH, 28/2 ASPH., 35/1.4 ASPH., 50/2, apo 90/2 ASPH. and apo 135/3, 4. It goes without saying that the parameters of evaluation possonoe not be those of a DSRL current: is a camera intended to anyone involved in reportage, and in particular to ambient light. A user already experienced the telemetry systems on film, will be at home in the use of this camera. A neophyte who comes from a digital SLR may be baffled. That said, the structure of the sensor, with peripheral inclined to optimize the projection of the original optical system dedicated to M, gives excellent results to the corners of the format, as long as you use just the expensive and excellent Leica - M, preferably in their declination aspherical, especially for wide angle lenses. With this system is obtained, to date, a sharpness and a cleaning dl'immagine unsurpassed, also thanks to the absence of the anti-aliasing filter. 18Mpxl that seem to be 30 ... The lack of skill at high ISO are partly offset by the performance objectives of the system, some bright and quality always at the top.
