Jono: Beautiful shots. I especially love the first one.On the way home tonight - grab shot with MATE at 50mm
400 ISO 1/30 sec virtually no pp
Eleanor, all very good questions and some of the same as I have. I just returned home yesterday afternoon and have a lot of work ahead of me. (16 days 3 cameras and well over a 1,200 images; not to mention the 3,800 miles driven). I carried my 17” laptop with me on this trip which was color calibrated however I never truly trust any image till I see it on my studio monitors. I can saw that the resolution of the M9 compared to the P45+ is amazing. This question reminds me of an image I took from tunnel view with both cameras where I could see (in great detail) a small waterfall far off on the right side of the image. I shot those images with a 120mm Schneider short barrel lens on the Cambo WRS/P45+ and a 90mm f/2 on the M9.Don how does your M9 and Leica glass compare to your P45+ images in terms of resolution (not size), dynamic range, color, smoothness of tones, etc. Just wondering! eleanor

I hope to be able to post a more definitive answer later this month with samples on my blog. Give me a PM if you need anything specific.
I will say here that I’m very pleased with the images and level of detail I’ve gotten with the close to 1,000 images. Everyone at Carmel had a chance to try out the camera and even those that weren’t used to a rangefinder system was able to capture great images.

I was speaking to Dave Gallagher for what I termed as a need of a small companion camera to my medium format. Something that would give me great image quality and allow me to print larger than 11x14 all the while knowing I'd not be able to compete with the sizes I print with the P45+. While I haven't as yet done any actual printing (I hope to do the first within a couple days) I can see a great amount of detail on screen.Don I've been reading your blog on the M9 and am tempted to at least "consider" getting one. So many times my medium format back set up is too heavy to pack around. How did you get yours so quickly? no one has them in stock anywhere! eleanor
Yes Don, last week of June I believe, too bad we won't overlap. Looking forward to sharing images thouigh. I plan at least 1 day in Yellowstone as well. best...PeterPeter - are you going in June? Sandy & I will be in Jackson Hole for 3-weeks in October.
