Superb quality!
“The compactness of the M9 and M-E is unrivaled and the M lenses are simply phenomenal – extremely sharp, even in the corners (where my Canon L glass didn’t fare so well) and even with wide angle lenses shot at wide open apertures. The 50mm and 35mm Summicrons are excellent partners for this camera.” – By James Maier

Stunning camera puts fun back in photography
“It has FAR exceeded my expectations! It is easy to focus (even wearing trifocals), it is small and well-balanced (with a 35 mm Summilux lens), and I am already producing images that blow away anything I have done in years. Leica has been described as the “thinking person’s camera” and while I don’t find it overly “fussy,” I do think it takes me back to 1963 when I took the photos I wanted to take–no deadlines, no stress!” – By DavidK

The updated or “new” M9
“I use two 6-bit lenses with it: 28mm Elmarit ASPH, and a 50mm Summicron. Image quality is superb, especially when shooting in DNG. You can also shoot JPG only or a combo of JPG + DNG, very handy if you want to shoot black and white in JPG but have a DNG color back up. Only thing is you must have a backup storage solution. The files are high quality and large.” – By RoR noob
