Mauribix Posted September 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 10, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) hi everybody, is there anybody out there with a picture of the new M9 in steel gray paint... hopefully with a chrome lens on it? I'd like to know how much the new paint differs from usual chrome/silver lenses by Leica. thank you, Maurizio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauribix Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted September 10, 2009 Thank you Peter! I still have to know why they didn't put the "vulcanite-like" skin on the Steel gray camera... I didn't like it on my M8, and will still continue not to love it on the M9. It sounds odd to me... vulcanite on the M9 black painted, and "smooth sandpaper" on the steel gray... uff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted September 10, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 10, 2009 Maurizio, Agree 100%... I figure I will order the replacement vulcanite and have Steve put it on for me. my guess, safire glass, 2m framelines and vulcanite on all models along with probably again black logo on M9.2 in 2 years.

chanyr Posted September 11, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 11, 2009 Does anyone know if the steel gray finish is painted or a kind of chrome finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongrelnomad Posted September 11, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 11, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Saw and played with a steel-grey M9 today in the Zurich Leica concession. It seems to be a very pretty finish - smoother and more 'ceramic' than the film Ms black-paint, and works well with both chrome and black lenses. I'd have one over the black (and send it to Solms for a reskin in vulkanite)... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
