We know that Leica M9 was launched 09.09.09 ... at such a nice period.
For me this first digital full frame Leica has won Collector Status.
I still use it, and the images from this old friend are great, even with today's standard.
This is from old Kodachrome slide
taken some years back in Colmar
scanned with M9, macro 50mm lens on bellows,
then only need some dust cleaning, resize for LUF
nothing more needed !
