No need to be nervous...it is a fantastic digital M...the best I would say!
I collected the M9 on the same day as I picked up the M6 LHSA package from you. I squeezed off a few shots just to test, check the shutter count an dit went back to the dry cabinet. The strange thing was I felt more excited about the M6 LHSA than the M9. Hence, I decided to let it go and sold it (at cost) last Thursday.
As a replacement, I bought the micro-mini-M9, the D-Lux4 Safari Edition
I'm very happy with my setup now. I'm sure the Digital M will come back into my life...hopefully later than sooner...when I'm ready to embrace it.

Dear Bro Dan, my destiny with the ultimate Digital M is not meant to be...yet...we have parted way again :cry:
I will focus on using these classic Ms first
I did & If i'd read in "between the lines" correctly, it has gone to that guy with the most expensive UV/IR filter now!:dunno:
Yeh, would like to know why too?
And Yes! You can't go wrong with the Classics!
film guy going digital, digital guy going film, I maybe going in wrong direction.... Arrgh
U can't deny the classic Ms bro... Typing to u at the restuarant with my M6 n M8. Instant gratification from a digital will never be as lasting as the anticipation of waiting for your films to show up on your monitor.
been shooting film for over 20 years now should have just stayed there! Hahaha
A new addition - Black MP with 'Lux 35mm V2. Gong Hey Fat Choy to the few people I know here, and the rest as well!
happy birthday again brother
Then my brother, u will need a M3 and MP in your arsenal. Do it fast!
dave what makes you think I don't already have them?

Hi Dan, I don't think it is the wrong direction. You have been playing with film for 20 years, it is a good time to experience digital which is just another medium to capture all the important and sometimes seemingly trivial moments. I can sense that you are shooting more with the M9.
For me, I've just started in Oct 2009 with the Olympus E-P1. No SLR or DSLR before that. I've many things to learn and experience. Starting and staying with film for a longer while is probably a more enriching experience for me.
morning vincent, you are right in many accounts, I actually find myself shooting more triX now with the m9. The inclusion of digital, albeit, convenient, the cam does not inspire me as much. Hence my waffling. Still do about a roll of film a week so on average my film use did not change. Great machine, no feel at least to me, perhaps I need to change my bias mindset, I could be completely off base. Like you I feel horribly guilty about neglecting my other cams.
hehe... Maybe you should sell it (M9) cheap cheap to me. :bsmilie:
Happy Chinese New Year.
Happy new year GFONG....you never know....I may just do a wongsan!:bsmilie:
