vdb Posted October 8, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for indulging me.... Just received my M9 and had to try it out. M9, 1000 ISO, 50 1.4 wide open...maybe I'll get home from work in time to shoot in the daylight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted October 8, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 8, 2009 Virgil - Your new tool will not be wasted on you. This is superb in every way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michali Posted October 8, 2009 Share #4 Posted October 8, 2009 Virgil- Excellent! Congratulations on your new acquisition and I wish you many, many wonderful shooting opportunities with it. You're going to absolutely love the M9, and with the 50mm Summilux, it's IMO probably one of the finest combinations available in 35mm format. A week after I got my M9 I went out and bought a 50mm Summilux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted October 8, 2009 Thank you all for commenting. Mike, on my film Ms in years past this was my favorite combo...it feels like I'm back home again.......... I do intend on keeping my M8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfredo Posted October 8, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 8, 2009 Virgil, Lovely shot. Keep us posted on any differences you notice in the images aside from the obvious advantage of FF and the larger file. Have fun with it (like I need to mention that) LOL. BTW I think this picture would look great printed really big and hung in your home somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted October 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks Wilfredo. My only reason for buying the M9 is the FF and not any potential improvement in image quality or higher pixels. The M8 satifies all that for me. It's just that I have used film Ms since the 70s and have a great deal of comfort with 35 and 50mm lenses at FF. For some reason though I've become somewhat attached to my M8 so am not willing to let it go.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted October 8, 2009 Share #8 Posted October 8, 2009 Virgil, I can see the approval in Lars eyes. Congratulations for your new camera and I expect a lot of great pictures coming. I'm sure you won't let us down. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't afford the M9 at this time even if I sold the M8 but I too would be happy with the FF capabilities of the M9. That aside, I remain attached to the M8, it remains a great tool!

kidigital Posted October 8, 2009 Share #10 Posted October 8, 2009 Virgil, similar experience. Here's one of my first shots with the M9. My 9-year old shepherd Fable ... so unafraid to show her nobility. Very nice photo, by the way. Kurt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
