Wow, I’ve been browsing around the M9 market and these prices have been climbing steadily for the past few months. Whenever one (newer sensor) gets posted for $2600 USD it is sold instantly on eBay, FM and FB leica buy & sell. Kind of regret selling my M-E, but I needed the funds for another purchase during that time. Lately, I’ve been having thoughts about picking up a second M9 in black paint if I ever find the opportunity in the near future.

No I won’t trade my M9 and will use it until it gives up on ghost. Going back a few years ago, I had given up on film completely I needed a digital version of my old M6. Found this M9 online and could

No. since getting the m9 I’ve sold all the fujis and also bought (and sold) other newer Leica Ms. I’ve had GAS without funds for many many things since getting the M9 and I’ve never once con

The 18MP sensor doesn't give me too much room to crop so I need to pay attention to framing. The 'limited' dynamic range makes me pay attention to exposure.  The highest ISO I will use is 80

Leica did have something closest to reissue in 2019, selling refurbished M9 and M9P directly from the factory.

You can choose from many different leather covers of smooth or textured leather.

At the time I contacted Leica for M9M, and there was only one available.  It was silver.

That’s when they used up all the remaining ccd sensors from trade in’s and made a huge profit rather than keeping the spares for customer repairs which is suppose to be 10 years since last the last production date of M9 & M-E 220 model.

Definitely staying, for me the closest digital ILC to a film camera there is and that, together with its output, makes it so much fun for me.  I can understand why a lot of digital users, indeed a lot of Leica rangefinder owners these days would hate it and that's fine; it's just that I love it.

I'll soon have to reshoot this shot (again) because the one on the left started to malfunction this Wednesday so I have ordered an M9P to replace it until I can see if it is fixable or not.

December arrived and the year 2023 will be history soon.  Though I sold my M9M due to lack of time taking pictures, my M9P is staying with me.

How about you?

My M9M will never be sold and is in regular use, my M9 sees much less use.

Currently travelling (by car).

Packed M9 Monochrom (silver chrome); M10-D; and M-A (black paint); with 21 Summilux; 35 APO Summicron; 50 APO Summicron (black chrome) and 75 Summilux. If you don’t have it with you, you won’t use it.

No plans to sell or upgrade any camera - it will be an endurance event. Who gives up the ghost first …

Hanging onto my M-E TYP 220, I have some lovely natural brassing and the files absolutely keep up in good light. Certainly I could liquidate it and use the money on travel or glass, but it's just so hard to part with.

Hello,
When is an M9-P not and M9-P.
I bought an M9 in 2011. Shortly thereafter, Leica offered an a la carte upgrade of the camera to an M9-P. Mine is an M9-P in everyday except the hotshot inscription.
Mine is in excellent shape with 40,000 shutter actuations and newest replacement sensor.
Yes, I am thinking of selling it.
