I've been seriously thinking about a Leica M9 (though market forces make me jittery about spending that much right now), but some postings make me curious. Ken Rockwell says, "In fact, the LEICA M9 is made to such relatively loose tolerances and has such a low-magnification 0.72x finder that LEICA cautions in its user manual to "stop-down two stops" with 135mm lenses to try to pick up some of the slop. Sad times are these; in the 1950's, LEICA advertised that with LEICA, you could use all your speed because the LEICA MAN never needed to stop down a stop or two "just in case" his focus was off or a lesser lens was softer." Anyway. Just causing trouble. I threw my neck into muscle spasms earlier today and am feeling grumpy.

So I know most people on other forums hate Ken Rockwell. Personally, I think he is funny but no one else is getting the joke. Anyway, he has a new set of pics up, in it he took several shots with both the m9 and the m3 with Velvia. I think it is very interesting. Here is the link http://kenrockwell.com/trips/2009-10/index.htm Anyway, I think I could get better colors out of the m9 and I was very impressed with how well it performed. This also shows why the m3 is still one of the best cameras around.
