Hallo Forum, ich habe kΓΌrzlich meine M9 nach Soβ¦ nein, nach Wetzlar! eingeschickt, mit einem offensichtlich zerstΓΆrten Sensor. Auf den Bildern waren deutliche Kratzer zu sehen, beim Abblenden schΓ€rfer als offen. Ich bin davon ausgegangen, dass ich mich beim (vorsichtigen) Reinigen mittels Sensor Swabs schlicht zu blΓΆd angestellt habe und den Sensor verkratzt habe. Anstatt eines satt vierstelligen KVAs kam jedoch nur die Nachricht zurΓΌck, der Sensor werde auf Kulanz getauscht. MΓΆglicherweise lag also noch ein anderes Problem vor - ich weiΓ es wirklich nicht, aber ich war mehr als ΓΌberrascht. Aufgrund der erwarteten langen Reparaturzeit von 8 Wochen wurde mir alternativ ein Upgrade auf eine M240 angeboten, zu einem durchaus attraktiven (Auf)Preis. Da ich trotz mehr-als-Vollzeitjob auf akademischer Basis nicht unbedingt im Bargeld schwimme und eine Familie zu ernΓ€hren habe, ΓΌberlege ich jetzt schon seit etlichen Tagen, was ich tun soll. ZunΓ€chst muss ich die M mal persΓΆnlich in die Finger bekommen, einen Ausflug in die groΓe Stadt werde ich wohl nΓ€chste Woche in den Terminplan einbauen kΓΆnnen. An der M9 wΓ€re halt hΓΌbsch, dass Sie mit neuem Sensor zurΓΌckkΓ€me, kalibriert, gereinigt und auf meine Objektive abgestimmt, quasi wie neu. Der Verschluss hat auch erst 5.000 AuslΓΆsungen hinter sich. Mich wΓΌrden die Meinungen der Umsteiger von der M9 auf die M interessieren, ob sich ihr Umstieg subjektiv gelohnt hat. Wenn ich den derzeitigen Restwert meiner M9 mit kaputtem Sensor betrachte, ist der Aufpreis auf die neue M gemessen an der UVP ein SchnΓ€ppchen, aber in absoluten Zahlen halt doch kein Pappenstiel. Dies gilt um so mehr, als ich zahlreiche der neuen Features bislang nicht vermisst habe: - Den schlimmen M9-Screen habe ich nur zur Iso-Verstellung verwendet und gelegentlich mal einen Blick aufs Histogramm riskiert. - Mehr als einen M9-Akku am Tag habe ich noch nicht leerbekommen. - Liveview ist zwar nett zur Vermeidung von Parallaxe und fΓΌr die akkurate Ausrichtung, aber ich kΓΆnnte wohl auch ohne. - Video an einer M brauche und mΓΆchte ich nicht. Das KnΓΆpfchen wΓΌrde ich sofort deaktivieren. Aber das Entscheidende ist doch: Wie steht es mit der BildqualitΓ€t? Ist der Umstieg auf den CMOSIS-Sensor ein solcher Quantensprung, dass man dafΓΌr soviel Aufpreis auf den Tisch legt, dass man anderswo eine komplette Vollformat-DSLR mit Glas davor bekomme? Oder sind die Unterschiede eher marginaler Natur? Ich wΓΌrde sicherlich nicht dauerhaft mit ISO 3200 herumlaufen, aber die Option zu haben, finde ich beispielsweise bei meiner X100 schon ganz nett. Butter bei die Fische? Oder lieber die M9 behalten und auf die nΓ€chste Generation warten, hoffentlich mit BildfeldwΓ€hlhebel, ohne Video und von mir aus auch ohne LCD? ;-) Ich bin fΓΌr jeden kreativen Vorschlag dankbar. Viele GrΓΌΓe, Henning

Hi guys I am new in the forum, also a new Leica Digital user. Had an M6 for a few months but after so much hassle with the film I decided to sell it. After a lot of thinking and saving I finally got my first digital M. Its been a lovely experience. Camera is a beauty, but will definitely need some time for adjustment. I also bought the following used lenses, a 50mm 1.4 Summilux pre asph and a 28mm elmerit 28mm asph. I mainly shoot street portraits, so the camera works wonderful for this. Previously I was shooting a Nikon DF, great camera, as also other toys... Here are some of my first picts with it, comments and critics welcome! More can be seen on my flickr! https://www.flickr.com/photos/malabito/ Pict 1 L1000401 by malabito, on Flickr Pict 2 L1000407 by malabito, on Flickr Pict 3 L1001386 by malabito, on Flickr Pict 4 L1000540 by malabito, on Flickr

Like so many I am in a lockdown situation, and as a safeguard I have not ventured out for many week because of my age and heart condition. Those around me are keen to keep me a live for some reason! π I have therefore been exploring the home environment, and also exploring my under-used 24mm Elmarit-M f2.8 ASPH. Here is one from my garden which was taken with the Elmarit on my M240, and then converted to black and white in Lightroom CC. Technical details are 1/90 f8 @ 2000iso Init is pretty dark under the oak tree). Hope you like it! Gerry

This image forms part of my further adventures into colour street photography after shooting black and white for 60+ years. It is a learning curve involving a different way of seeing, but one which I am enjoying (even if I do not get it right!) Gerry

As the saying goes "Birds of a feather flock together". I spotted these gulls taking advantage of a pontoon to have a rest after a hard rainstorm. I found it fascinating that they were all facing exactly the same way. Leica M240 + 35mm Summarit f2.5. Shot as .dng and converted to black and white in Lightroom Classic. Hope you like it Gerry

I was just leaving the waterside park area when I spotted this guy. I was already driving so I drove back around the park and parked up so that I could catch him. It had just been pouring with rain so I think he stopped under the tree to take shelter, but he then sat on the wet grass. Leica M240 + 35mm Summarit f2.5. Shot as .dng and converted to black and white in Lightroom Classic. Hope you like it Gerry

It was the annual Gay pride event in my home town of Southampton, and there was the usual plethora of street vendors including the balloon sellers. This guy only sold unicorn belloons, and made an interesting subject. This is a very colourful event and it would have been easy to be overwhelmed by the colour, but I made the decision to shoot it b&w: Leica M240 + 50mm Summicron-M f2 Gerry
