mole73 Posted September 9, 2024 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear M9, today is the day - 15 years ago a new era in the digital M world started with your birth. You were born as the world's first mirrorless full frame camera and more than a decade later you are THE true classic in the digital lineup of Leica´s. Happy birthday M9! 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 9, 2024 Posted September 9, 2024 Hi mole73, Take a look here Dear M9.... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ray Vonn Posted September 9, 2024 Share #2 Posted September 9, 2024 I can see how ridiculous it sounds to buy another one if my current one breaks given the inherent and, let's face it, real dangers. But I would. This probably means I like it just as much as you. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted September 9, 2024 Share #3 Posted September 9, 2024 Indeed! The M9 is the first digital camera I could stand to use. Mine is still going strong, though I use the M10 more now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tappan Posted September 10, 2024 Share #4 Posted September 10, 2024 Not me, sorry. Love affair died a few months ago. My M9-P was mint. 36,000 shutter clicks. Newest (best) replacement sensor. I could not stomach the slow (filled) buffer anymore. I sold it to finance an M10-R. I do miss it. I may regret, I know. Good luck to you both.

Topsy Posted September 10, 2024 Share #5 Posted September 10, 2024 Still loving my 4 although one ( the one on the left) now will only really work in warmer weather the shutter struggles to cock in cold weather Welcome, dear visitor!

pgk Posted September 10, 2024 Share #6 Posted September 10, 2024 (edited) The M9 remains my 'go to' carry around camera. I have two but my 'spare' has had hardly any use for several years. It is a 'classic' as far as I am concerned and has seen off other, more advanced digital cameras during my ownership of it.

pippy Posted September 10, 2024 Share #7 Posted September 10, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Happy Birthday M9! Although it was a really lovely camera I no longer have my M9-P but do take my M Monochrom out pretty much every day so am still with the '9' in spirit!

Mark Hello Mark, sorry to hear that. But with the M10-R you have without a doubt a technically more modern camera. Have fun with this great camera!

3D-Kraft.com Posted September 10, 2024 Share #11 Posted September 10, 2024 (edited) Used an M9 back in 2011 for a short time and admired it, but decided to wait for the M(240). Did'nt like that (sold after 3 months again). This year the old love flared up again and an M9 with a replaced, corrosion-free sensor found its way to me. Although my Sony A1 with GM lenses is technically so much better in every aspect, I still love shooting the M9 because of the unique colors and it's classic shutter sound. Together with a 75mm Noctilux, it delivers portraits that are in a class of their own. Welcome, dear visitor!

But anyway, it all depends on personal preference. Yes, that's right. What I meant was that the complete M9 shutter sound, including both shutter release and shutter re-cocking, resembles more that of a film Leica with the Winder M than a film Leica that is wound manually. I know that the M9 can be set to Discreet mode in order to postpone re-cocking, but it will still happen eventually. And you are of course correct regarding personal preferences.

3D-Kraft.com Posted October 14, 2024 Share #17 Posted October 14, 2024 (edited) Together with classic lenses (my latest acquisition), it's still a beauty that inspires me to take photos - not only with, also OF the camera.
