Hi fellow Leica users,
I just got back into photography last year with a dSLR which I enjoyed very much. A few months back I added a M8 and a M6 TTL to the kit and have been shooting RF 98% of the time. Am in the process of selling my dSLR gear and going full time with a RF for a year to see how it will work out. I currently have a 35CronIV, 50CronV3, 50 Nokton 1.5 and a tele-E 90 (I'm sure you 0.95 users started somewhere with one of these too? ) Haven't really used the 90 but I'm very happy with the 35 and 50s on the M8 and M6.
Question for the current Leica M9 users here who upgraded from the M8 - thinking back to when you switched from the M8 to M9, what are your opinions for me to consider:
1. Stick to the M8 for now and buy more lenses first (I'm thinking of adding 2 lenses - a wide angle 15 or 21CV lens AND either a used 28 Cron or older 35 Lux Asph)
2. Sell the M8 and go straight to the M9 with the existing lenses and enjoy FF.
3. Other suggestions?
The M8 files are adequate for me, I don't really need more megapixels but the high ISO on the M8 bothers when I want to shoot available light.
Thanks for your opinions!
Joe
