As some may know, Jono has been absent from this Sony section for far too long!
In fact, rumour has it that he has defected, hopefully temporarily, to the Leica section and LUF where he has been very busy beta testing and reporting on the new Leica M9 rangefinder. I have just read his very good report in LFI magazine as well....well done Jono.
The M9 is a very different beast to the Sony a900, a different tool doing a different job usually. However there is an overlap at the wide to mid range focal lengths and it would be nice to know how the a900 with a good Zeiss lens at 12 bit colour depth and 24.8 mpx compares with the M9 at 14 bit and 18mpx with Leica M prime lenses.
Now I hope that I haven't put you on the spot Jono, but how about it?
