I’m afraid, you all have to blame John(W)
….after reading his admiration at the M Monochrome, it suddenly hit me hard…the returning longing for the simple and wonderful M-feeling, primitive solid…exquisite…a feeling of a simple way to get some of the lost childhood back…getting sort of childish in the allowed and mature way…and camera-wise its hard to get enough of simplicity…the wish for uncomplicatedness that could be laid upon, just like a slice of ´cool creamy butter softly laid upon a touchy heated brain, which become severe swollen by the mere thought of scrolling down through endless menu-systems….the solely thought of taking a long vacation from menu-systems….was suddenly….simply a featherlight relief…
well, awaking, I just searched for a used M9-P. But I just wasn’t aware of existence of the M-E until 3 weeks ago. And suddenly an M-E looked like the barging of the decade (well at least after 3 weeks of getting used to the level of used M’s and 9’s). So a hasty deal, and a new ME slipped down the shopping-bag together with a used 24 Elmarit.
So for now, even when not taking pictures, I’m happy (so....to hell with pictures…
.. it’s all about feeling….and it’s priceless)…
