Hello everyone! First, want to say I really enjoy these forums. Wonderful what all of you contribute.
Now to the issue: I sold, about a year ago, my M8 and Leica gear, as my 17 year old is into movie making, and the Canon 5D2 system represented an affordable way for me to shoot photos and him movies all in one package.
Fast forward a year - Sure I shoot great stuff with the Canon. The 5D2 and 85L, wow, what a combo for portraits and kids! Hard to beat.
I find, however, that I really miss the style of pictures, the mojo, if you will, that I found with my M8. The photos had a different moment in time feel.
So, the big question. M9? I can't go back to the cropped M8. But is it worth the $$. I do miss having my Leica with me all the time! The Canon comes out at specific times, but is not a constant companion... All thoughts are appreciated. -Rob
