Back to basics with the Leica M9-Professional

Well, for the most part the images show people holding Leica cameras...

A good way to perpetuate the stereotype that Leicas are just expensive necklaces for show... :eek: Also, people appear to be focusing while looking through external OVFs. ;)

You got to admit though, that the p version, whether its BP or chrome, looks much nicer w/o the red dot. It's another question whether that bit, plus the other "upgrades", is worth $1000.
 
i don't know...if i spent that much money i sorta want the red dot!

i don't think it's adds any stealth to the camera really...
 
Best thing in the article... the A&A pet collar... and leash lol:

In the event that anyone actually does look at the photos on that site, quite a few are quite good.
 
I enjoyed it but would have enjoyed more information about the P model. Yes I realize it is nothing more than the regular M9 but, well, I enjoy reading about it anyway. I would like to get the sapphire screen as mine is badly scratched but I always thought it Should be part of the original anyway.

I enjoyed viewing some of the images. edit: I looked more and while some are ok, many are so-so. The blurry images just look blurry, to me.

True, looking further through the pages, there are some nice pictures. But it is a VERY mixed bag, and the captions are some of the most self-aggrandizing/unvoluntarily funny I have ever read.

On this page: http://www.overgaard.dk/leica-M9-digital-rangefinder-camera-page-2.html
"As if that persons full cahracter was summed up in that one hand-expression. In fact, it was. Leica M9 with 50mm Summicron-M f/2.0." :)

Or from the text: "On a final note, and I've noticed I'm not the only one: I bring my camera almos tall the time. I've actually started saying "I wear my Leica M9" which implies both a fashion statement, but also that I have it around the neck like a shirt. Hence the seven socks, five t-shirts and one Leica M9." :)

(Imagine how many socks and t-shirts he could buy for one Leica M9 ;-))

It's not just the Red Dot, it's the M9 engraving on the left side too!

Red dot.....brings back Jr. High School, shooting IDs with a Polaroid Instant ID system......."Look at the red dot, don't blink, FLASH, Next"

Sixth picture down with this caption:
Also, WTF is up with people focusing while looking through the OVF???

- To be sure that lens is focused on infinity (its easy to have it moved away by accident)
- To focus on other distance. With some practice its fairly easy to focus "by feel" given mechanical MF (as opposed to by-wire).
